In the latest aleatory achievement of the POTUS, he has inspired a North Korean general to take up comedy.
I’m tempted to say, “He really killed ‘em in Kujang,” but that would just be Wrong.
Lieutenant-General Kim Yong-chol’s attempt to commune with Thalia took place at a military summit with South Korea1.
Kim started the meeting by saying, “I recently read a piece of political humour on the internet called ‘saving the president’”, then proceeded to tell the following joke:
Bush goes out jogging one morning and, preoccupied with international affairs, fails to notice that a car is heading straight at him.
A group of schoolchildren pull the president away just in time, saving his life, and a grateful Bush offers them anything they want in the world as a reward.
“We want a place reserved for us at Arlington Memorial Cemetery,” say the children.
“Why is that?” asks Bush.
“Because our parents will kill us if they find out what we’ve done.”
South Korean military officials were non-plussed — jocular North Korean generals being about as common as badgers who knit.
- It took place in the village of Panmunjom, which if you squint when you listen to it seems like it ought to be Korean for “pandemonium”. [back]
That joke is funny.
Thank you ladies and gentlemen, I’ll be here all week. Be sure to try the nonexistent food.
I think Snag could tell you a thing or two about knitting badgers.
that’s a pretty good joke.
Remember the ol’ conservative talking points from 2004 where our enemies would never respect America if John Kerry was president? Now I’m waiting for Iran to open up nuclear negotiations with a chimp joke.
And that is a pretty funny joke.
…And Preznit Monkey boy won’t get it.
Heh-heh.
Snag knits badgers?
And yeah, the joke is pretty decent, which may actually be the most surprising thing about the whole deal. Though it may just prove that, with the internetz, anyone can find a decent joke.
I do now have this image of North Korean miltary brass scouring the internet for Bush jokes and emailing them to each other.
Do you suppose they have open-mike night at the NoKo HQ?
With snipers in the back row in case of accidental Kim Jong-Il joking.
Thank you. Try the veal. No, really, TRY THE VEAL!

Me and Trixie saw that guy at The Sands. He was no Rickles, but hey, loose slots!
I had a badger knit me some socks once. Then a møøse stole them.
Once a møøse steals socks, do they then become søcks?
only if they are on the høøf.
