Clinton visits Saddam Hussein to talk about the weapon-inspections in Iraq. As he sits down he sees three buttons in the arm-rest of the chair of Saddam. When Saddam sits down, Clinton immediately asks:'why are there three buttons in your arm-rest?'
'You'll see' replies Saddam.
They start the talks, but after 10 minutes Saddam
presses the 1st button, and 'WHACK' a boxing glove hits Clinton in the
face, Clinton grabs his nose, while Saddam is laughing himself silly.
Clinton remains calm because he doesn't want this to affect the talks.
After
another 10 minutes, Saddam presses the 2nd button and another boxing
glove hits Clinton in the stomach. While Clinton is gasping for air, Saddam
falls out of his chair from laughing. Clinton gets annoyed by now, but still
remains outwardly calm.
They resume the talk, but after 5 minutes Saddam
presses the final button, and from under the table another boxing glove
hits Clinton, right in the groin. Clinton is really fed up by it now
and stands up to leave. 'We'll continue this talk next week in the White
House' says the President. Saddam, choking from laughing, is too proud to say no, so the appointment stands.
A week later Clinton receives Saddam in the
Oval Office, and as Saddam sits down, he sees three buttons in the arm-rest
of Clinton's chair.
As the meeting goes on, Saddam sees that Clinton
presses the first button, and ducks really fast, but nothing seems to
happen. This doesn't stop Clinton from laughing...really loud.
After this,
Clinton continues where he left off, until he presses another button.
Saddam reacts really quick, and jumps up. Absolutely nothing happens, and
this time Clinton falls out of his chair laughing. Saddam doesn't get it - what
the hell is happening here? But he hasn't been harmed yet, so he sits down
again to talk further.
After a few minutes Clinton presses the final
button. This time, Saddam stays sitting, but Clinton isn't, he's is rolling
on the floor, doubled up from laughing. Saddam is really annoyed by now, so
he stands up from his chair and shouts: "I've had enough of this, I'm
going back to Baghdad"
Clinton: (Through tears of laughter from the
floor) - "Baghdad?.....where's Baghdad?"
