Bush’s Urgent & Confidential Business Proposal

URGENT ASSISTANCE – FROM USA

IMMEDIATE ATTENTION NEEDED : HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL

FROM: GEORGE WALKER BUSH
202.456.1414 / 202.456.1111
FAX: 202.456.2461

Dear Sir / Madam,

I am GEORGE WALKER BUSH, son of the former president of the United States of
America George Herbert Walker Bush, and currently serving as President of the
United States of America. This letter might surprise you because we have not met
neither in person nor by correspondence. I came to know of you in my search for
a reliable and reputable person to handle a very confidential business
transaction, which involves the transfer of a huge sum of money to an account
requiring maximum confidence.

I am writing you in absolute confidence primarily to seek your assistance in
acquiring oil funds that are presently trapped in the republic of Iraq. My
partners and I solicit your assistance in completing a transaction begun by my
father, who has long been actively engaged in the extraction of petroleum in the
United States of America, and bravely served his country as director of the
United States Central Intelligence Agency.

In the decade of the nineteen-eighties, my father, then vice-president of the
United States of America, sought to work with the good offices of the President
of the Republic of Iraq to regain lost oil revenue sources in the neighboring
Islamic republic of Iran. This unsuccessful venture was soon followed by a
falling-out with his Iraqi partner, who sought to acquire additional oil revenue
sources in the neighboring emirate of Kuwait, a wholly-owned U.S.-British
subsidiary.

My father re-secured the petroleum assets of Kuwait in 1991 at a cost of
sixty-one billion u.s. dollars ($61,000,000,000). Out of that cost, thirty-six
billion dollars ($36,000,000,000) were supplied by his partners in the Kingdom
of Saudi Arabia and other persian gulf monarchies, and sixteen billion dollars
($16,000,000,000) by German and Japanese partners. But my father’s former Iraqi
business partner remained in control of the republic of Iraq and its petroleum
reserves.

My family is calling for your urgent assistance in funding the removal of the
President of the Republic of Iraq and acquiring the petroleum assets of his
country, as compensation for the costs of removing him from power.
Unfortunately, our partners from 1991 are not willing to shoulder the burden of
this new venture, which in its upcoming phase may cost the sum of 100 billion to
200 billion dollars ($100,000,000,000 – $200,000,000,000), both in the initial
acquisition and in long-term management.

Without the funds from our 1991 partners, we would not be able to acquire the
oil revenue trapped within Iraq. That is why my family and our colleagues are
urgently seeking your gracious assistance. Our distinguished colleagues in this
business transaction include the sitting vice-president of the United States of
America, Richard Cheney, who is an original partner in the Iraq venture and
former head of the Halliburton oil company, and Condoleeza Rice, whose
professional dedication to the venture was demonstrated in the naming of a
Chevron oil tanker after her.

I would beseech you to transfer a sum equaling ten to twenty-five percent
(10-25 %) of your yearly income to our account to aid in this important venture.
The internal revenue service of the United States of America will function as
our trusted intermediary. I propose that you make this transfer before the
fifteenth (15th) of the month of April.

I know that a transaction of this magnitude would make anyone apprehensive and
worried. But I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day. A
bold step taken shall not be regretted, I assure you. Please do be informed that
this business transaction is 100% legal. If you do not wish to co-operate in
this transaction, please contact our intermediary representatives to further
discuss the matter.

I pray that you understand our plight. My family and our colleagues will be
forever grateful. Please reply in strict confidence to the contact numbers
below.

Gorbachev and Bush

Told to me by my father, who heard it from his cousin?

Gorbachev is hard at work on his country’s budget. His secretary
Knocks on the door. “Mr. Secretary, the–“

“Not now, I’m busy!”

“But…”

“Net! Come back in two hours.”

Thirty seconds later, she knocks again. “Mr. Secretary, the
Phone… you must answer it.”

“Can’t you see I’m working on the budget? I must have silence.
Have them call back tomorrow.”

“But Mr. Secretary, it’s Mr. Bush on the phone. He says he has 5
Billion dollars for you, and you don’t have to pay any of it back!”

Gorbachev smiles and picks up the phone. “Hello, Neil…”

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON � for a guy looking for a new house, George W. Bush picked the
right place for a speech Monday.
“It’s fitting, I guess, that I’m here in Washington talking to Realtors,”
Bush told about 1,500 people attending the midyear conference of the National
Association of Realtors. “After all, I’m looking for a new house.”
The audience gathered a mile or so from the White House, laughed heartily,
continuing a lighthearted atmosphere that started moments earlier.
The Texas governor was introduced by Dennis Cook of Roanoke, Va., the
association’s president. He played off the Texas tradition of doing things
large.
“The Lone Star State is home to 20 million people � and nearly that many
cattle. It has the most farmland, the most species of bats, the longest fishing
pier, the largest rose garden. And Texans will tell you that the first word
spoken from the moon was, ‘Houston,”’ Cook said.
Taking the stage, Bush grinned and called the introduction “intriguing.”

Ascroft Visits an Elementary School

Attorney General Ashcroft is visiting an elementary school. After the
typical civics presentation, he announces, “All right, boys and girls, you can
all ask me questions now.”
A young boy named Bobby raises his hand and says, “I have 3 questions: 1.
How did Bush win the election with fewer votes than Gore? 2. Why are you using
the USA Patriot Act to limit Americans’ civil liberties? 3. Why hasn’t the U.S.
caught Osama Bin Laden yet?”
Just then the bell sounds and all the kids run out to the playground.
Fifteen minutes later, the kids come back in class and again.
Ashcroft says, “I’m sorry we were interrupted by the bell. Now, you can
all ask me questions.”
A young girl raises her hand and says, “I have 5 questions: 1. How did
Bush win the election with fewer votes than Gore? 2. Why are you using the USA
Patriot Act to limit Americans’ civil liberties? 3. Why hasn’t the U.S. caught
Osama Bin Laden yet? 4. Why did the bell go off 20 minutes early? 5. Where’s
Bobby?”

Make the Pie Higher

I think we all agree, the past is over.
This is still a dangerous world.
It’s a world of madmen
and uncertainty
and potential mental losses.
Rarely is the question asked
are our children learning?
Will the highways of the Internet
Become more few?
How many hands have I shaked?
They misunderestimate me.
I am a pit bull on the pant leg of opportunity.
I know that the human being and the fish
can coexist.
Families are where our nation finds hope
where our wings take dream.
Put food on your family!
Knock down the tollbooth!
Vulcanize society!
Make the pie higher!
Make the pie higher!
