SWAROOP DEV forwards this joke from Dubai: George Bush has a heart attack and dies. Obviously, he goes to Hell,where the Devil is waiting for him. “I’m not sure what to do,” says the Devil. “you’re on my list, but I have no room for you. But since you definitely have to stay here, I am going to have to let someone else go.

“I’ve got three folks here who weren’t quite as bad as you. I’ll let one of them go, but you’ll have to take their place. I’ll even let you decide who leaves.”

Dubya thought that sounded pretty good, so he agreed. The Devil opened the first room. In it was Richard Nixon and a large pool of water. He kept diving in and climbing out, over and over. Such was his fate in Hell. “No!” protests Bush. “I don’t think so. I am not a good swimmer, And I don’t think I could do that all day long”.

The Devil led him to the next room. In it was Tony Blair with a sledge hammer and a room full of rocks. All he did was swing the hammer, over and over, time after time. “No! I’ve got this problem with my shoulder, I would be in constant agony if all I could do was breaks rocks all day,” says George.

The Devil opened the third door. In it, George saw Bill Clinton lying on the floor with his arms staked over his head, and his legs staked in a spread-eagle pose. Bent over him was Monica Lewinsky doing what she does best. George Bush looked at this in disbelief for a while and finally said, “Yeah, I can handle this.”

The Devil smiled and said “Ok, Monica, you’re free to go!”
