The Day I Met President Reagan

[Stephen]

Back in 1980 I attended a fundraiser for President's Reagan's election. I was very nervous and excited and spent all day planning what I would wear and how I would look for the occasion.

It was an expensive event as I recall. Something like $10,000 per plate, and I could never have afforded it, but an uncle of mine was somewhat wealthy and wanted several relatives to come along with him.

When President Reagan arrived, the place went crazy with whistling and applause. Everyone seemed trully thrilled to be in the same room with him. My excitement intensified as he made his way across the room in a direction that would bring him close to our table!

I was still standing and clapping when he came within a few feet of me, and then it happened! I was so nervous, I tripped and fell all sprawled out upon the floor.

Very graciously, President Reagan took my arm and offered to help my up. I told him that I thought I had sprained my ankle in the fall. He looked me straight in the eye and said, "I believe I might be able to help you with that." He took hold of my ankle and pulled on it. I was amazed that he, the soon to be 40th President of the United States, would actually take a personal concern in my difficulty.

He pulled again and again. He stood there, with all the Secret Service around him, and pulled my leg. Just like I'm pulling yours now.

Did you see the picture of Bill and Hillary with their eyes closed (sleeping?) during Bush's speech at the funeral?

Someone said that this wasn't altogether bad.  He said it was the first time that Bill and Hillary had slept together in years.

George Bush has a heart attack and dies.

He goes to hell where the devil is waiting for him.

"I don't know what to do here," says the devil, "You are on my list but I have no room for you."

You definitely have to stay here, so I'll tell you what I'm going to do.  I've got three folks here who weren't quite as bad as you.  I'll let one of them go, but you have to take their place.  I'll even let YOU decide who leaves."  George thought that sounded pretty good, so he agreed.

The devil opened the first room: in it was Richard Nixon and a large pool of water.  He kept diving in and surfacing empty-handed over and over and over.  Such was his fate in hell.   "No!" George said. "I don't think so.  I'm not a good swimmer and don't think I could do that all day long."

The devil led him to the next room: in it was Tony Blair with a sledgehammer and a room full of rocks.  All he did was swing that hammer, time after time after time. "No, I've got this problem with my shoulder.  I would be in constant agony if all I could do was break rocks all day!" commented George.

The devil opened a third door. In it, George saw Bill Clinton, lying on the floor on his back with his arms and legs staked to the floor spread-eagle style. Bent over him was Monica Lewinsky, doing what she does best.  George Bush looked at this in disbelief for a while and finally said, "Yeah,  I can handle this."  The devil smiled and said...........

"OK, Monica, you're free to go!"
