Hillary Clinton goes to a primary school in Ithaca, New York, to talk about the world.

After her talk she offers question time. One little boy puts up his hand, and the Senator asks him what his name is.

"Richard", replied the little boy.

"And what is your question, Richard?"

"I have three questions:

1. Whatever happened to your medical health care plan?

2. Why would you run for President after your husband shamed the office?

3. Whatever happened to all those things you took when you left the White House?"

Just then the bell rings for recess. Hillary Clinton informs the kiddies that they will continue after recess.

When they resume Hillary says, "OK, where were we? Oh, that's right, question time. Who has a question?"

A different little boy puts his hand up.

Hillary points him out and asks him what his name is.

"My name is George."

"And what is your question, George?"

"I have 5 questions:

1. Whatever happened to your medical health care plan?

2. Why would you run for President after your husband shamed the office?

3. Whatever happened to all those things you took when you left the White House?

4. Why did the recess bell go off 20 minutes early?

5. What happened to Richard?"

There is a factory that makes the Tickle Me Elmo toys. The toy laughs when you tickle it under the arm.

Lena was hired at the factory and she reported for her 1st day promptly at 8:00 a.m. The following day, at 8:45,

there was a knock at the personnel manager's door. The foreman from the assembly line threw open the door and

began to rant about his new employee, Lena. He complained that she was incredibly slow and that the entire production

line was behind schedule and backing up!

The personnel manager decided he should see this for himself, so the two men marched down to the factory floor.

When they got there, the line was so backed up, there were Tickle Me Elmos all over the factory floor and they were

really beginning to pile up at the end of the line stood Lena, surrounded by mountains of Tickle Me Elmos.

She had a roll of plush red fabric and a huge bag of small marbles. The two men watched in amazement as she cut

a little piece of fabric, wrapped it around two marbles and began carefully to sew the little package between Elmo's legs.

The personnel manager stared for a few seconds, saw what was happening, and burst into laughter. After several

minutes of hysterics, he pulled himself together and approached Lena.

"I'm sorry," he said to her. Barely able to keep a straight face, he said, "I think you misunderstood the instructions given you yesterday. Your job is to give each Elmo two test tickles ..."

That Hillary joke had me in stitches ... a real belly laugh ... and I'm an Aussie!
