Presidential Firing Squad

Bill Clinton, Al Gore, and George W. Bush were set to face a firing squad in a small Central American country. George Bush 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 George 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 the Al yelled out, "Tornado!" Again the squad fell apart and Al slipped over the wall.

The last person, Bill Clinton, 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!"
