Oh, Joe, say it ain’t so.
Phone rings: “Hello, this is the home of the next president, Jill speaking.”
Hello, Mrs. Vice President, It is George Stephanapoulos. I hope all is well. May I please speak to the president?”
“Joe, the phone is for you; it’s George; he wants to talk about the next debate.”
“Hello, George, how is Martha?” “Pardon me, Mr. President, it’s George Stephanapoulos, not George Washington.” “I’m sorry, George. I just woke from my nap.”
“Mr. President, it’s only 10 a.m.” “Yes, I realize that. My naps are very important.”
“My first question, sir, is: “How do you plan to help the economy?”
“Depends,” “Can you elaborate a bit more?”
“Depends,” “Okay, then, Mr. President, how will you help the immigration problem?”
“Depends,” “is this the way your answers will go during the debate?”
“Depends,” “one final question that the whole country wants to know: boxers or briefs?”
“Depends.”
