61. I think he means the kind that holds up your walls

Mar 2018

It seems that Trump and Dubya Bush were riding together in the lead car of Trump's military parade when a tank squashed it flat.

They got to the Pearly Gates. The flunky on duty that day looked in his book and said, "neither one of you is supposed to be here."

"We're going to Hell?" Dubya asked.

"No," said the flunky, "you're going back to earth. You can't go back as what you were, but you can pick anything else you'd like to be."

The two Republican politicians thought that was a good idea.

"Mr. Bush, what would you like to be?"

"I want to be an eagle," said Mr. Bush.

"A fine choice. And you, Mr. Trump?"

"I want to be a stud."

At the end of the day, St. Peter was going over his new man's work.

"And what did you do with those two American politicians who accidentally came up here?" asked St. Peter.

"Mr. Bush wanted to be an eagle. So I sent him to Alaska. It's really nice for eagles there. Lots of fish, clean skies...he's having a great time."

"And Mr. Trump?"

"That worthless fucker is in the wall of an outhouse in Chicago."
