The day following President Bush's second "State Of The Union" address, George W. strode into his office where defence secretary Gates was waiting for him.
"What's the latest news from Iraq, Bobby?"
"Not too good, Mr. President. There was another attack on our troops."
"Really?" said the president, raising one eyebrow. "How bad?"
"Thirty two soldiers were injured, sir. And 1 is missing. Also, 2 Brazilian soldiers were killed."
Bush went pale and his legs buckled. He let out a small gasp as he fell to the presidential carpet. Secretary Gates helped the President to his feet and handed him some water. Bush steadied himself on the desk. "Bobby, you wanna run that by me again?"
"Thirty two injured, 1 missing. 2 Brazilian soldiers killed."
"Geeze! We need to address the people again! Right away!" Bush mopped his brow with the palm of his hand. "We're gonna need some perspective on this, Bobby. Tell me - how many millions are there in two brazillion?"
Sorry. :(
