Peace Talks
Saddam Hussein and Bill Clinton meet up in Baghdad for a round of talks in a
new peace process. When Bill sits down, he notices three buttons on the side
of Saddam's chair.
They begin talking and after about five minutes Saddam presses the first
button. A boxing glove springs out of a box on the desk and punches Clinton
on the face.
Confused, Clinton carries on talking, as Saddam falls about laughing.
A few minutes later the second button is pressed, and this time a big boot
comes out and kicks Clinton in the shin. Again, Saddam laughs, and again
Clinton carries on talking, not wanting to put off the bigger issue.
But when the third button is pressed and another boot comes out and kicks
Clinton in the privates, he's finally had enough. "I'm going back home!" he
tells the Iraqi. "We'll finish these talks in two weeks!"
A fortnight passes and Saddam flies to the States for talks. As the two men
sit down, Hussein notices three buttons on Clinton's chair andprepares
himself for the Yank's revenge.
They begin talking and Bill presses the first button. Saddam ducks, but
nothing happens. Clinton snickers.
A few seconds later, he presses the second button. Saddam jumps up, but
again nothing happens. Clinton roars with laughter.
When the third button is pressed, Saddam jumps up again, and again nothing
happens. Clinton falls on the floor in a fit of hysterics.
"Stop this," says Saddam. "I'm going back to Baghdad!" Clinton says through
tears of laughter...
"What Baghdad?"
