Just arrived in my email....

> Congress today announced that the job of the President of the United
States
> of America will be outsourced to overseas interests as of August 31st. The
> move is being made to save not only a significant portion of the
> President's $400,000 yearly salary, but also a record $521 billion in
> deficit expenditures and related overhead.
>
> "We believe this is a wise move financially. The cost savings should be
> significant," stated Congressman Thomas Reynolds (R-Washington). Reynolds,
> with the aid of the Government Accountability Office, has studied
> outsourcing of American jobs extensively. "We cannot expect to remain
> competitive on the world stage with the current level of cash outlay,"
> Reynolds noted.
>
> Mr. Bush was informed by email this morning of his termination.
>
> Preparations for the job move have been underway for some time. Gurvinder
> Singh of Indus Teleservices, Mumbai, India will be assuming the office of
> President as of September 1st. Mr. Singh was born in the United States
> while his Indian parents were vacationing at Niagara Falls, thus making
him
> eligible for the position. He will receive a salary of $320 (USD) a month
> but with no health coverage or other benefits.
>
> It is believed that Mr. Singh will be able to handle his job
> responsibilities without support staff. Due to the time difference between
> the US and India, he will be working primarily at night, when few offices
> of the US Government will be open. "Working nights will allow me to keep
my
> day job at the American Express call center," stated Mr. Singh in an
> exclusive interview. "I am excited about this position. I always hoped I
> would be a President someday."
>
> A Congressional spokesperson noted that while Mr. Singh may not be fully
> aware of all the issues involved in the office of President, this should
> not be a problem. Mr. Singh will rely upon a script tree that will enable
> him to respond effectively to most topics of concern. Using this tree, he
> can address common concerns without having to understand the underlying
> issues at all.
>
> "We know these scripting tools work," stated the spokesperson. "Mr. Bush
as
> used them successfully for years."
>
> Mr. Bush will receive health coverage, expenses, and salary until his
final
> day of employment. Following a two week waiting period, he will be
eligible
> for $240 dollars a week unemployment for 13 weeks. Unfortunately, he will
> not be eligible for Medicaid as his unemployment benefits will exceed the
> allowed limit.
>
> Mr. Bush has been provided the outplacement services of Manpower, Inc. to
> help him write a resume and prepare for his upcoming job
> transition. According to Manpower, Mr. Bush may have difficulties in
> securing a new position due to limited practical work experience. One
> possibility is re-enlistment in the Air National Guard. Should he choose
> this option, he would likely be stationed in Iraq, a country he has
> visited. "I've been there, I know all about Iraq," stated Mr. Bush, who
> gained invaluable knowledge of the country in a visit to the Baghdad
> Airport's terminal and gift shop.
>
> Sources in Baghdad and Falluja say Mr. Bush would receive a warm reception
> from local Iraqis. They have asked to be provided with details of his
> arrival so that they might arrange an appropriate welcome.

3. That's funny.............
Bush was taking a jog in a park in DC, he came upon a young tow-headed
blue eyed boy with a box of newborn kittens. Bush asked the boy to see
the kittens, and the boy said here you go Mr. President. Do you know
what kind of kittens they are? said the boy. Bush said, calico? the
boy said. No they are republican kittens. Bush patted the young boy
and went on with his jog.

A few days later Bush and Cheney were walking in the same park and
Bush sees the boy again. He drags Dick over to see the kittens. Bush
says, ask the kid what kind they are. So Dick asks and the boy says,
they are DEMOCRATS.

What says Bush? You said they were republicans. The boy smiles and
says, yeah but their eyes are open now.
