Do you have a clever comeback for this? |
|
Presidential candidates Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Mc Cain were flying to a debate.
Barack looked at Hillary, Chuckled and said, 'You know I could throw a $1,000 bill out of the window right now and make somebody very happy.' Hillary shrugged her shoulders and replied, 'I could throw ten $100 bills out of the window and make ten people very happy.' John added, 'That being the case, I could throw one hundred $10 bills out of the window and make a hundred people very happy.'
Hearing their exchange, the pilot rolled his eyes and said to his copilot, 'Such big-shots back there. I could throw all three of them out of the window and make 156 million people very happy.'
I'm voting for the Pilot
*******
On a completely unrelated note, I saw an SUV owned by (based on the multitude of flag stickers) what appeared to be a conservative. They sported a sticker saying "Screwed in '08" which I'm guessing sums up the mood on the other side. ;-)

It's an OLD joke. Really old when you consider the last time this country had 156 million people it was 1952.

3. I'd also add "But still, John McCain is way older than the joke" |

The first time I heard it was 1992. In the helicopter was President Bush I, VP Dan Quayle and two Repug senators (don't recall the names.)
One senator says, "I could throw $100 in ones out the window, and make a hundred people happy."
The other senator says, "I could throw $500 in tens out the window, and make 50 people very happy."
Pres. Bush says, "Feh! No wonder I'm president. I know how to make 200 million people extremely happy, and it won't cost me a penny."
The two senators expressed polite skepticism.
So the President pushed Quayle out the window.
