Russian
President Putin called President George W. Bush with
an emergency:
"Our largest condom factory has exploded,"
the Russian President cried.
"My people's favorite form of birth control.
This is a true disaster!"
"Mr. Putin, the American people would be happy
to do anything within their power to help you,"
replied the President.
"I do need your help" said Putin. "Could
you possibly send 1,000,000 condoms ASAP to tide us
over?"
"Why certainly! I'll get right onit,"said
Bush.
"Oh, and one more small favor, please?"
said Putin. "Yes?"
"Could the condoms be red in color and at least
10" long and 4" in diameter?" said
Putin.
"No problem," replied the President.
Mr. Putin hung up and started laughing with his aides
about how those stupid Americans will fall for anything.
George hung up and called the President of a condom
company. "I need a favor, you've got to send
1,000,000 condoms right away over to Russia."
"Consider it done," said the president
of the condom company.
"Great! Now listen, they have to be red in color,
10" long and 4" wide."
"Easily done. Anything else?"
"Yeah," said the President, "print
'MADE IN AMERICA, SIZE SMALL' on each one!"
