Atelephone call from tony Blair

A telephone call from Tony Blair

President Bush is sat at the head of a large table at which the rest of
the seats are taken up by his military advisors, when there is the
sound of a slight tap at the door and an aide enters and walks over to
the President, the aide is dressed like a butler from the imagination
of P.G. Wodehouse, the aide leans forward and speaks softly into the
presidents ear.

Aide Mr President, I 'm sorry to interrupt your meeting but Prime
minister Blair is on the telephone for you, we've told him you are in a
meeting but he insists that he has been trying to contact you since
your victory in the election.

President Bush He probably just wants to congratulate me on my victory,
scuse me gentlemen, a matter of great national importance. Put him
through will you.

An aide pulls the presidents chair back for him as re arises and goes
over to his desk to take the telephone call. President Bush picks up
the telephone and puts it to his ear and hears his secretary.

Isabel Putting you through now Mr Blair.

Mr Bush Weeell hello there Tony, spect it's raining or foggy there is
it?
Tony Blair morning George, it is in fact a lovely autumn day here. I
suppose that all mornings are good there now that you have been
re-elected, I would imagine that you're shocked aren't you?

Mr Bush No not really it just goes to show what can be achieved if you
throw enough taxpayer's money at it bare that in mind for your own
election when it comes round. With enough money behind it lies can
sound like truth Tony.
Discussion is still going on round the table whilst Mr Bush is talking
to Tony and it is obvious that the Cief of Staff wants to interrupt Mr
Bush.

Mr Bush Scuse me a moment, my generals are waving their arms about like
windmills on a windy day, trying to attract my attention.

Bush covers the mouthpiece of his telephone and half turns his head
towards the table.

Mr Bush yes yes what is it?

Chief of staff Mr President what day should we make our all out attack
on Fellujah to oust the rebels

Mr Bush turns his head away from the table back to the telephone.

Mr Bush Tony Lad, tell me what day is it today, is it Monday or
Tuesday? Old head isn't as good as it used to be you know.

Tony Blair Well actually here it's Wednesday, but you are behind us so
it might still be Tuesday with you, better ask Isabel, she is pretty
good on things like that you know.

Mr Bush Yea better ask Isabel, yes I rely on her a lot for things like
that, she is good on dates as well, only last week she telephoned Bill
Clinton to remind him it was Monica's birthday. I THINK WHEN Isabel
took over her office she must have found a little book with all this in
formation written down by a previous incumbent. Yes thanks Tony I'll
ask Isabel what day it is shortly, do you want me to phone you back
when I find out so that you will know as well.

Tony Blair no George I don't think that will be necessary because
apparently it is you who wants to know, I know it's Wednesday here, but
with you George it could be last week.

Mr Bush No! No! Tony it's definitely not last week, I know that without
a shadow of doubt that when I got up this morning and put the clothes
on that my wife had put out for me, it was today, that's why I have one
red sock and one blue sock on. Just hope that I'm not getting confused
like poor old Ronald did.
