Who is Hu?

The (really bad) "joke" yesterday in class remembered me of a better joke, which is already some years old, but playing in the same way. However, to tell it to you by using direct speech and a lot of adverbs makes it less funny (just a dialogue would fit way better!).. .



In the White House:

George W. Bush asks gently "Condi! Nice to see you. What's happening?"
Condoleezza Rice tells him directly "Sir, I have the report here about the new leader of China."
Bush orders her politely "Great. Lay it on me."
She replies honestly "Hu is the new leader of China."
He reacts immediately "That's what I want to know."
Condi explains patiently "That's what I'm telling you."
"That's what I'm asking you," Bush gets back to her. "Who is the new leader of China?"
She tells him naturally "Yes."
Bush says "I mean the fellow's name."
Condi replies candidly "Hu."
Bush reacts nerved "The guy in China."
Again, she replies candidly "Hu."
He explains more precisely "The new leader of China."
For the third time, Condi replies candidly "Hu."
Bush reacts enervated "The Chinaman!"
Condi explains again "Hu is leading China."
[...]

And so, the dialogue goes on. But, for this blog it should be enough...
You get the whole joke told in a little motion picture on YouTube (really funny!): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jU_aw3SCUV8
