40 GOATS TO BUY CHELSEA

Maybe this oughta go in the humor section. This is where politics and humor truely intersect.

Quote:
Former US president Bill Clinton has been offered 40 goats and 20 cows for his daughter by a love-struck African government official.

...

The dowry is a very generous one by the country's own standards.

...

"I would have invited South African Anglican Archbishop Desmond Tutu to preside at the ceremony."
Source

I'm pretty sure Bill turned him down flat but the proffered cows had to make him think about it.

Well, I dunno...

I reckon if he had taken his offer up to 25 cows then there may have been a deal on the table to work on.

Seing the thread title, I thought it was a generous offer, but I was thinking of another Chelsea.

What a blunder! Everyone knows that Bill prefers pigs. But I fear that the damage has been done now, and even an offer of 100 pigs now won't overcome the initial insult.

I understand that during his White House days, Bill returned to DC from a visit to his old home town, and surprised the saluting Marine at the bottom of the helicopter gangplank. Seems he was carrying a small pig.

"It's a pure-bred, corn-fed Arkansas razorback. Waddaya think?"

"Uhhh, nice pig, sir!"

"I got it fer Hillary..."

"Uhhh, nice trade, sir!"

True story...

Oh, Chelsea CLINTON!

For a minute there I thought Roman Abramovich had spent all that money for nothing.

Now I'm picturing my three future wives: Ann Coulter, Nicolle Kidman, and Chelsea Clinton. All I'd need is an Ipod with a booster amp. It could happen.

I don't want to think of the in-laws.

Show me your 134 goats before you get any funny ideas.
