President
Boris Yeltsin called President Bush with an emergency:
"Our largest condom
factory has exploded!" the Russian President cried; "My people's favourite
form of birth control! This is a true disaster!"
"Boris, the American
people would be happy to do anything within their power to help you.", replied
the President.
"I do need your help," said Yeltsin. "Could
you possibly send 1,000,000 condoms ASAP to tie us over?"
"Why
certainly! I'll get right on it!", said Bush.
"Oh, and one more
small favour, please?", said Yeltsin.
"Yes?", replied the
President.
"Could the condoms be red in colour and at least 10"
long and 4" in diameter?" said Yeltsin.
"No problem,"
replied the President and, with that, Bush hung up and called the President of
Trojan condoms. "I need a favour, you've got to make 1,000,000 condoms right
away and send them to Russia."
"Consider it done," said the
President of Trojan.
"Great! Now listen, they have to be red in colour,
10" long and 4" wide."
"Easily done. Anything else?"
"Yeah," said the President, "Print 'MADE IN AMERICA, SIZE
MEDIUM' on each one."
