November's Disgruntled Employee of the Month: George W. Bush
Gary Newbrunswick: Well, George, congratulations!
George W. Bush: Thanks, Gary. I always kind of hoped I'd be Disgruntled
Employee of the Month someday.
GN: Well, that's nice to hear, but that's not what I was congratulating
you for.
GWB: It wasn't? What for then?
GN: You know.
GWB: Uh... no. Not really.
GN: For getting re-elected president.
GWB: What? President of what?
GN: Ha ha! You know!
GWB: No. President of the company glee club? The shuffle board team?
Tell me, Gary!
GN: No! President of the United States!
GWB: Oh, President of the United States! Well that's pretty goddamn
amazing, Gary, considering I didn't run for the office and I'm an
anonymous factory worker for a novelty company.
GN: Ha ha. See, I thought...
GWB: You thought it would be funny to make a joke of interviewing me this
month because I happen to have the same name as the man who just got
re-elected president.
GN: Yes. See...
GWB: Wow, that's hilarious, Gary, because I had never noticed before that
I happen to have the same name as the president. No one ever pointed that
out to me! You're really breaking new ground here with that joke, you
are!
GN: OK.
GWB: Because you'd THINK by now someone would've mentioned it. Or maybe
not just someone, but maybe EVERY SINGLE PERSON I'VE ENCOUNTERED FOR
FREAKING YEARS!
GN: All right, I.
GWB: So, hey, let me see your questions... Hey, hilarious jokes about
what my plans are for my next four years!
GN: Well, I -
GWB: No, it's OK, let me answer that. My plans include picking up small
pieces of clear plastic off of a conveyor belt, attaching them to other
pieces of clear plastic and then setting those joined pieces back down on
the conveyor belt. Those are my plans, Gary.
GN: OK, well apparently -
GWB: Also, my plans include trying not to kill every new chump I meet who
thinks that somehow he's being clever by asking me if I've caught Osama
yet or to pronounce "nuclear" or for an invitation to stay over in the
Lincoln bedroom. Those are my plans, Gary - drudgery and seething.
GN: OK.
GWB: Those are my plans.
GN: OK.
GWB: Any other questions then?
GN: No.
GWB: You sure? Nothing else?
GN: Well...?
GWB: Please, go ahead.
GN: So North Korea next, or Iran?
GWB: I hate you.
