George Bush, Tony Blair and Jacques Chirac
George W. Bush, Tony Blair and Jacques Chirac were relaxing in a Parisian sauna.
Suddenly, there was a distinct beeping sound.
President Bush pressed his forearm with his thumb and the beeping stopped.
The others looked curiously at him.
“Oh, that was just my pager”, said George. “I have a microchip embedded under the skin of my forearm.”
Two minutes later, the silence was broken by the sound of a phone ringing.
Tony Blair lifted the palm of his hand to his ear and the ringing stopped.
The Prime Minister explained, “That was my cell phone, chaps. I have a telecom chip implanted in the palm of my hand.”
By this time, French (ex)president Jacques Chirac was feeling sort of low-tech.
Without saying anything, he quickly scooted out of the sauna, but returned momentarily. When he returned, Bush and Blair both stared at him increduously. It appeared that a long piece of toilet paper was dangling from the Frenchman’s posterior.
When Jacques saw that he had the attention of the other two men, he feigned astonishment: “Marie sainte! I’m think I’m getting a fax.”
