Bush and Train Tickets - How should I responds to this e-mail sent to me?
A different spin on an old story... CJ


Subject: Bush and train tickets

George and Laura Bush, and Bill and Hilary Clinton are
traveling by train to the Super Bowl.

At the station George and Laura each buy a ticket and
watch as Bill and Hilary buy just one ticket. "How are the two of you
going to travel on only one ticket?" asks George W, astonished at what he
is seeing. "Watch and learn," answers Hilary. They all board the train.



George and Laura take their respective seats but Bill and Hilary
cram into a toilet together and close the door. Shortly after the train
has departed, the conductor comes around collecting tickets. He knocks
on the toilet door and says, "Ticket, please." The door opens just a crack and a single arm
emerges with a ticket in hand. The conductor takes it and moves on.

The Bushes see this happen and agree it was quite a clever idea, so after
the game they decide to try a similar plan on the return trip. When they
get to the station they see the Clinton's at the window buying a single
ticket for the return trip. To their astonishment, the Clinton's see that the
Bushes don't buy any ticket at all. "Aren't you taking a terrible chance by
traveling without a ticket?" says Hilary. "Live and learn," answers Laura Bush.

When they board the train the Bushes cram themselves into a toilet and the Clinton's cram into another toilet just down the way. Shortly after the train leaves the station,
George W. leaves their toilet and walks over to the Clinton's toilet, knocks on their door and says, "Ticket, please."

...And Democrats are still wondering how they lost
the election!!

1. I usually ignore this crap and just say "So nice to hear from you, Uncle
Freephead?"

2. It sounds to me like the person who sent the email ...
freely admits that W stole the election and thinks it's funny. You may want to ask the sender why they hate America. After all, how can you be a "patriot" if you embrace tactics that go against everything democracy stands for?

3. That's an old one. The names / occupations change from time to time.
That's what Freepers do. They aren't intelligent enough to create new jokes, they just plagiarize the classics. They took all the OJ Simpson jokes from the mid-nineties and bastardized them into Bill Clinton jokes in the late nineties. These idiots aren't smart enough to come up with new material.

4. Old lame joke with a Brazillian variations
Microsoft/Apple employees, Americans/Canadians, French/English
Just google "Ticket, please".

It really doesn't work because there is nothing that connects the personalities, just reverse the characters and it's still the same joke.

Republicans are not good at humor.
