That was freakin' hilarious!
“This is the President,” announced a firm voice.
“Of what?” she demanded automatically.
“Of the United States!” snapped a firm voice, sounding a little testy. “...I’m sorry, do you know how many times I’ve been asked that? It gets old fast.”
LOL!
“I was trying to call the White House Cafeteria...”
“You need to dial a 2 first for an internal line, “ said the President. “Say good bye, hand up and dial again.”
“Ah is that a two and then-“
“Say good bye, hang up and dial again, beginning with a 2.”
Sort of the equivalent of voice mail hell.
I’ve seen those polls. 90% of the people think Superman is the greatest thing since George Washington invented sliced bread. The other 10% think he’s here to invade but 5% say he’s the nicest invader we’ve ever had and just over 1% think he’s here to invade and he’s so nice we should surrender because he’d do a better job of running things.”
I just about fell out of my chair laughing at that.
And the kicker was the last two lines!
