Heard this one today, thought I would share it with the room.
George W. Bush is doing a PR session, talking to a second grade class. He goes on about civic pride, about democracy, etc. etc. At the end of the talk, he asks, "Are there any questions?"
A little boy raises his hand, and Bush says, "yes, what's your name?"
The boy says, "My name is Billy. I have three questions.
1) Why are you president when Al Gore got more votes?
2) Why doesn't my daddy have a job?
3) Why did we invade Iraq when they didn't have weapons?"
Bush responds to the little boy, "Those are very good, very grown-up questions, Billy, and I have answers for you."
Suddenly the recess bell rings, and the children all run out of the classroom. When they come back, Bush is still there. He says to the children, "As I was saying, are there any questions?"
A little boy raises his hand, and Bush says, "yes, what's your name?"
The boy says, "My name is Eddie. I have five questions.
1) Why are you president when Al Gore got more votes?
2) Why doesn't my daddy have a job?
3) Why did we invade Iraq when they didn't have weapons?
4) Why did the recess bell ring twenty minutes early?
5) Where the f*ck is Billy?"
