Nader, Gore and Bush went to a fitness spa for some fun (if you can believe
that Nader ever has fun) and relaxation (if you believe Gore ever relaxes).
After a healthy lunch, all three decided to visit the men's room and there they
found a strange-looking gent sitting at the entrance who said, "Welcome to the
gentleman's room. Be sure to check out our latest feature: a mirror that, if
you look into it and say something truthful, will reward you with a wish. But
be warned - if you say something false, you'll be sucked into the mirror to
live in a void of nothingness for all eternity."
They entered, and on finding the mirror Nader said, "I think I'm the most
truthful of us three." In an instant he was surrounded by a pile of money,
which one supposes he invested in tech stocks.
Gore stepped up and said, "I think I'm the most ambitious of us three." He
suddenly found the keys to a new Lexus in his hand, and this made him happy
because it was a much better looking vehicle than the official Vice President's
car.
Excited over the possibility of having a wish come true, Bush looked in the
mirror and said, "I think..." - and was promptly sucked into the void.
Be seeing you,
- Ricky
