Saddam Hussein and Bill Clinton meet in Baghdad for talks on
sanctions. When Bill sits down he notices Saddam's chair has three
buttons on the armrest. They begin talking but after 5 minutes Saddam
presses a button and a boxing glove pops out of Clinton's chair and bashes
him on his face.
Clinton, barely believing it, carries on talking, but
after another few minutes Saddam presses a second button and out comes a
large boot and kicks him in the groin. Clinton is upset but still
remains outwardly calm.
They resume the talks, but after 5
minutes Saddam presses the final button and from under the table another
boxing glove hits Clinton, right in the stomach. 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 Clinton press the first button, and ducks really fast,
but nothing seems to happen. This doesn't stop Clinton from
laughing... really loudly. After this, Clinton continues
where he left
off, until he presses another button. Saddam reacts
really quickly, and jumps up.
Absolutely nothing happens, and this
time Clinton falls out of his chair laughing.
Saddam doesn't get it -
what 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
rolling on the floor, doubled up 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".
Through tears of
laughter from the floor Clinton
replies, "Baghdad?...what
Baghdad?"
