Donald Rumsfeld is giving the President his daily briefing, he concludes by saying: “Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed in an accident.” “OH NO!” the President exclaims. “That’s terrible!” His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands. Finally, he looks up and asks… “How many is a Brazillion?” ---

…And then Laura came home and said: “Honey, I just got a Brazilian wax!” W replied, “That’s waxES. It’s plural. Wow, those 3rd grade grammar books you gave me are coming in handy.” And Clothahump thought that the original joke was lame. ---

Well, most of you have probably heard this, and it’s a couple weeks old, but: Do you know W’s opinion on Roe vs. Wade? He doesn’t really care how people get out of New Orleans. ---

This one is somewhat older than that but still funny. “Dubya” Bush finally visited Canada after several years into his presidency. “Dubya” was thinking of going to Canada earlier, but his father got him a slot in the Texas National Guard. ---

> [@E = mc²](#): > > Put your money where your mouth is. Tell a funnier W joke. 🙂🙂 From his prison cell, Saddam Hussein sent President Bush a hand-written note. The strange one-line message read: 370HSSV-0773H. The President couldn’t figure it out so he faxed it to Colin Powell. Powell and his aides had no clue either, so they sent it to the CIA. No one there could solve it, so it went to the FBI, the Pentagon, the Joint Chiefs, then to NSA, MIT, NASA and the Secret Service…the list got longer and longer. Eventually someone suggested asking a WWII Navajo Code Talker. In Window Rock, AZ, 88-year old Cecil Begay took one look at it and said, “Tell the President he is looking at the message upside down.” ---

I’m not a huge fan of W jokes because they usually are too easy, but the OP definitely made me laugh. 🙂 ---

> [@Revtim](#): > > Are you assuming the OP is trying to give the impression s/he wrote the joke? No; I recognize that the OP probably had received it w/o attribution and was just passing it on - I just wanted to add the citation, in hindsight the apparent snarkiness of my post was unintentional. ---
