    Not Really a Joke

    US Attorney General John Ashcroft was visiting an elementary school. After 15 minutes of speaking he says, "I will now answer any questions you have."

    Bobby stands up and says: "I have four questions:

    1. How did Bush win the election with fewer votes than Gore?

    2. Why haven't you caught Osama bin Laden?

    3. Why are you using the American Patriot Act to limit civil liberties?

    4. Where are the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq?"

    Just then the bell goes off and the kids rushed out to play. Upon returning, Mr. Ashcroft said: "I am sorry we were interrupted. I will
    answer any questions you have."

    A little girl called Julie stands up and says: "I have six questions:

    1. How did Bush win the election with fewer votes than Gore?

    2. Why haven't you caught Osama bin Laden?

    3. Why are you using the American Patriot Act to limit civil liberties?

    4. Where are the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq?

    5. Why did the bell ring twenty minutes early?

    6. Where is Bobby?"
