Saddam Hussein and Bill Clinton meet up in Baghdad for
the first 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.
After about five minutes Saddam presses the first button.
A boxing glove springs out of a box on the desk and punches
Clinton in the face. Confused, Clinton carries on talking
as Saddam laughs.
A few minutes later the second button is pressed. 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 of peace between
the two countries.
But when the third button is pressed and another boot
comes out and kicks Clinton in the privates, he's finally
had enough, knowing that he can't do much without them
functioning well.
"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 United States
for talks. As the two men sit down, Hussein notices three
buttons on Clinton's chair and prepares 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.
"Forget this," says Saddam. "I'm going
back to Baghdad!"
Clinton says through tears of laughter, "What Baghdad?"
