I Remember That Place!

In an effort to avert war, Bush travels to Tehran to negotiate with President Ahmadinejad.

As George sits down he notices that Ahmadinejad's chair has three red buttons on one arm. After a few minutes of talking, Ahmadinejad pushes one of the buttons and a boxing glove pops out of a compartment in the desk and punches George on the nose. Ahmadinejad laughs loudly and George continues trying to negotiate.

After another couple of minutes Ahmadinejad pushes a second button and a boot swings out and kicks George on the shin, he grimaces and Ahmadineja laughs even louder.

Finally Ahmadinejad pushes the third button and a boot kicks George in the butt. Ahmadinejad laughs hysterically and George has had enough.

"Ok that's it, I’m going home. We will continue these talks in two weeks time in Washington."

Two weeks later Ahmadinejad arrives to talk to George and notices three red buttons on the arm of the President's chair and expects to be repaid for his treatment of the US President.

After a few minutes the President pushes a button and Ahmadinejad leaps out of his chair but nothing happens and George giggles.

After a minute or two the President pushes the second button and once again Ahmadinejad throws himself out of the chair but again nothing happens and Bush giggles even louder.

Finally, the President pushes the third button and once again Ahmadinejad expects to be hit by something and leaps from the chair but nothing happens.

Ahmadinejad is fuming as Bush rolls around the floor giggling hysterically.

'I've had enough of this. Your Senator Biden is right. You are brain-dead. I'm going back to Tehran.'

Bush wipes the tears from his eyes and says through his giggles. 'What Tehran?'

(Ed. Note: We love it when a plan comes together!)
