George Dubya and ***** Cheney are watching the 6 o'clock news one evening.
Cheney bets Dubya $50 that the man in the lead story, who is threatening to
jump from a 40 story building, will jump. "I'll take that bet," Dubya
replied.
A few minutes later, the newscaster breaks in to report that the man had,
indeed, jumped from the building. Cheney, feeling sudden guilt for having
bet on such an incident, turns to Dubya and tells him that he does not need
to pay the $50.
"No, a bet's a bet," Dubya replied, "I owe you $50 dollars."
Cheney, feeling even more guilty, replied, "No, you don't understand, I saw
the 3:00 edition, so I knew how it was going to turn out."
"That's okay," said Dubya, "I saw it earlier too, but I didn't think he'd do
it again."
