Hillary Clinton called Bill into her office one day and said, "Bill,
I have a great idea! I know how we can win back middle America and
secure my presidential victory in 2008."
"Great, but how do you propose we go about that," asked Bill?
"Well," Hillary responded, "we'll go down to a local Wal-Mart, get
some cheezy clothes and shoes like most middle Americans wear and
then we'll stop at the pound and pick up a Labrador."
"When we look the part we'll go to a nice old country bar in middle
America, and we'll show them that we really enjoy the Countryside
and show admiration and respect for the hard working people living
there".
A few days later, all decked out and with the requisite Labrador at
heel, they set off from New York in a westerly direction. Eventually
they arrived at just the place they were looking for.
With dog in tow they walk into the bar. They stepped up to the
bar,the Bartender took a step back and said, " aren't you Bill and
Hillary Clinton ?"
Hillary answered, "yes we are, and what a lovely town you have here.
We were just passing through and Bill suggested that we stop and
take in some local color."
Then they ordered a couple of cocktails from the bartender and
proceed to drink them down, all the while chatting up a storm with
anyone who would listen.
All of a sudden, the bar room door opens and a grizzled old farmer
comes in. He walked up to the Labrador, lifted its tail and looked
underneath, shrugged his shoulders and walked out the door. A few
moments later, in came another old farmer. He walked up to the dog,
lifted its tail, looked underneath, scratched his head and then left
the bar.
Over the course of the next hour or so, another four or five farmers
came in, lifted the dog's tail, and went away looking puzzled.
Eventually Hillary and Bill could stand it no longer and called the
bartender over. "Tell me" said Hillary, "why did all those old
farmers come in and look under the dog's tail like that? Is it some
sort of old custom?"
"Good Lord no," said the bartender. "Its just that someone has told
them that there was a Labrador here in the bar with two assholes!."
