Hu's on first.

[Demosthenes]

Someone e-mailed this to me, but I thought it was pretty good:

HU'S ON FIRST
(We take you now to the Oval Office.)

George: Condi! Nice to see you. What's happening?
Condi: Sir, I have the report here about the new leader of China.
George: Great. Lay it on me.
Condi: Hu is the new leader of China.
George: That's what I want to know.
Condi: That's what I'm telling you.
George: That's what I'm asking you. Who is the new leader of China?
Condi: Yes.
George: I mean the fellow's name.
Condi: Hu.
George: The guy in China.
Condi: Hu.
George: The new leader of China.
Condi: Hu.
George: The Chinaman!
Condi: Hu is leading China.
George: Now whaddya' asking me for?
Condi: I'm telling you Hu is leading China.
George: Well, I'm asking you. Who is leading China?
Condi: That's the man's name.
George: That's who's name?
Condi: Yes.
George: Will you or will you not tell me the name of the new leader of China?
Condi: Yes, sir.
George: Yassir? Yassir Arafat is in China? I thought he was in the Middle East.
Condi: That's correct.
George: Then who is in China?
Condi: Yes, sir.
George: Yassir is in China?
Condi: No, sir.
George: Then who is?
Condi: Yes, sir.
George: Yassir?
Condi: No, sir.
George: Look, Condi. I need to know the name of the new leader of China.
Get me the Secretary General of the U.N. on the phone.
Condi: Kofi?
George: No, thanks.
Condi: You want Kofi?
George: No.
Condi: You don't want Kofi.
George: No. But now that you mention it, I could use a glass of milk. And
then get me the U.N.
Condi: Yes, sir.
George: Not Yassir! The guy at the U.N.
Condi: Kofi?
George: Milk! Will you please make the call?
Condi: And call who?
George: Who is the guy at the U.N?
Condi: Hu is the guy in China.
George: Will you stay out of China?!
Condi: Yes, sir.
George: And stay out of the Middle East! Just get me the guy at the U.N.
Condi: Kofi.
George: All right! With cream and two sugars. Now get on the phone.
(Condi picks up the phone.)
Condi: Rice, here.
George: Rice? Good idea. And a couple of egg rolls, too. Maybe we should
send some to the guy in China. And the Middle East. Can you get Chinese
food in the Middle East?

The original with Abbott and Costello was funny........I guess I fail to see the humor here...especially in these times..

 

[piratesmate]

I thought this was hysterical! At least until I read Mackey Mouse's response. . . I must be very shallow because I only saw it as a play on words & never thought about PC or the current world situation.

Of course, the original A&C schtick still makes me LOL - no matter how many times I hear it.

This is extremely funny. This is true espicially considering the world situation. I am curious why world events render this joke unfunny?

Here is a link to a site containing this joke. See http://www.bushwatch.net/hoot.htm

 

[MerryPoppins]

I think it is funny, too. I think with the current world situation, we need a laugh more than ever. That doesn't mean I don't take the situation seriously, though.

[lilboo]

Globalization meets A&C!!! Funny!

I actually thought this thread was going to be about the beautiful Kelly Hu.

 

[caitycaity]

i was cracking up.

 

[SuiteDisney]

It's just a joke and it's very funny.

 

[RoqueC]

The original is much funnier, but I still like this one.

 

[Toby'sFriend]

I was laughing.

I thought it was funny too!
