At first the President says nothing, but his face quickly grows red and his jaw is visibly clenched.

"Mr. President," says an anonymous staffer. "Are you okay?"

He's fuming. "Do you know how many times I've heard about them damn Brazilians? Enough already!"

12.
Donald Rumsfeld is giving the President his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, three Brazilians were killed."

The President reflects on this news for several moments. "Not again," he moans. "I just don't get it."

Rumsfeld glances uncertainly at the assembled cabinet. "Mr. President?"

Bush shakes his head sadly. "I mean, a 78-year-old millionaire I can understand, but they don't even have quails in Brazil."

13.

14.
Donald Rumsfeld is giving the President his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, three Brazilians died in Iraq."

The President reflects on this sad news for several moments. "Brazilians," he says at last. "Are you sure?"

"Well," says the President. "As long as you're sure."

15.

"Buy me as many shares of Amazon.com as you can get!"

16.

"Of course it's per me," snaps the President. "I said it, didn't I?"

17.

19.
Donald Rumsfeld is giving the President his daily briefing. He concludes by saying "Unfortunately, we lost three Brazilians in Iraq yesterday."

The President laughs and chides Rumsfeld for his poor understanding of the Iraq situation. His staff is stunned at this uncommon spectacle, since the President is typically so deferential toward his senior advisors.

"Don," he explains at last. "Yens are Japan's currency, not Brazil's. Heck, I don't even know if you can spend them in Iraq."

22.
Donald Rumsfeld is giving the President his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, three Brazilians were killed."

4. Bieng Witches.... Hear me, KitchenWitch?
yuk yuk yuk...
on a more series note, howzabout putting the skeptics and the psychics together and watch them try each other... and then explode! (Like that small female off duty checkoslovakian traffic warden)

But really, want would you want a witchhunt for? Well, except for someone to blame for those atrocious maneuvres by the Bolivian Navy in the South Pacific.
