A Joke from Miguel...

Last night there were two debates at one location that I attended related to my local political obsession so it's taken me quite a few hours to transcribe the tape and my notes hence the light blogging here. However, this is the type of thing my husband sends me thru email. If you like the joke you can thank him, if you don't? You can harrass him in the comments...

The Iranian Ambassador to the UN had just finished
giving a speech, and walked out into the lobby where
he met President Bush.

They shook hands, and as they walked the Iranian
said, "You know, I have just one question about
what I have seen in America.

President Bush said, "Well, anything I can do to
help you, I will."

The Iranian whispered "My son watches this show
'Star Trek' and in it there is Chekhov who is Russian,
Scotty who is Scottish, Uhura who is Black and
Sulu who is Chinese, but no Arabs. My son is very
upset and doesn't understand why there aren't any
Iranians, Syrians or Iraqis on Star Trek."

President Bush laughed, leaned toward the Iranian
ambassador, and whispered back, "It's because it
takes place in the future."
