Famous Last Words
Bill Clinton, Al
Gore, and George W. Bush were set to face a firing squad in
a small Central American country. Bill Clinton was the first
one placed against the wall and just before the order was given
he yelled out, "Earthquake!" The firing squad
fell into a panic and Bill jumped over the wall and escaped
in the confusion.
Al Gore was the second one placed against the wall.
The squad was reassembled and Al pondered what he had just witnessed. Again before
the order was given Al yelled out, "Tornado!" Again the squad fell
apart and Al slipped over the wall.
The last person, George W. Bush, was placed against
the wall. He was thinking, "I see the pattern here, just scream out something
about a disaster and hop over the wall." He confidently refused the blindfold
as the firing squad was reassembled. As the rifles were raised in his direction
he grinned from ear to ear and yelled, "Fire!"
