| (reposting this...forget the punch line last time...heheh) George W. Bush was sitting in the Oval Office wondering which country to invade next, when his telephone rang. "Hallo, Mr. Bush," a heavily accented voice said. "This is Abul Abed, down here at Qahwet el-Ejezz. I am calling to tell you that we are officially declaring war on you!" "Well well, Mr. Abul Abed," replied Bush, "this is indeed important news. How big is your army?" "Right now," said Abul Abed, after a moment's calculation, "there is myself, my neighbor Abu Steif, my cousin Abu Yousef, my other cousin Abu Jreij, plus the waiters at the Qahwe. That makes eight." Bush paused. "I must tell you, Mr. Abul Abed, that I have one million men in my army waiting to move at my command." "Holy falafel," exclaims Abul Abed. "I'll have ta call you back." Sure enough, the next day Abul Abed called again. "Mr. Bush, the war is still on! We have managed to acquire some infantry equipment." "And what equipment would that be, Mr. Abul Abed?" "Well, habibi, we have two Mercedes 180, and a pick-up truck." Bush sighed. "Again I must tell you, Mr. Abul Abed, that I have 12,000 tanks and 20,000 armored personnel carriers. I have also increased my army to one and a half million since we last spoke." "Ya lateef", said Abul Abed. "I'll be getting back to you." Abul Abed rang again the next day. "Mr. B, the war is still happening! We have managed to get ourselves airborne! We modified a helicopter with a couple of shotguns in the cockpit, and four more neighbors have joined us as well." Bush was silent for a minute and then cleared his throat. "Mr. Abul Abed, you have to know that I have 1,000 bombers and 10,000 fighter planes. The White House and the Pentagon are protected by laser-guided surface-to-air missiles. And since we last spoke, I have increased my army to two million!" "Lah lah lah lah," said Abul Abed. "I'll have ta call you back." The next day, Abul Abed called early in the morning. "Mr. Bush, I am sorry to have to tell you that we have decided to call off the war." Bush smiled with triumph. "I'm sorry to hear that, Mr. Abul Abed. Why the sudden change of heart?" "Well, sir," said Abul Abed sadly, "our army sat down at Qahwet el-Ejezz to drink some Turkish coffee. We had a long chat, and came to realize that there is no way we can feed two million prisoners!" |
