Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing.
He concludes by saying, “And yesterday, three Brazilian soldiers were killed.”
“OH NO!” Mr. Bush exclaims. “That’s terrible!” His staff sits stunned at this sudden outward display of emotion, nervously watching as the president sits, head in hands, almost sobbing.
Finally, the president looks up and asks, “Just how many is a brazillion, anyway?”
as far as i can tell the joke is not making fun of brazilian people in any way other than perhaps that brazilian sounds sort of like a realy big number
He may be a lot of things, but I’ve got to give him (and his staff) credit for not being ignorant. They sure fooled a lot of the people that voted for him…
I’ve heard the joke before, but it was just as good the second time around.
