Saving Billy
"Poor ol Bill"
Saving Billy
Three young college students are on vacation in Washington, DC. One day
they are walking together past the White House when they hear the voice
of a man crying out, "Help, Help." Quickly, they respond to the call by
leaping over the White House fence, and by following the cries, they
eventually come upon Bill Clinton, drowning in the White House swimming
pool. In an heroic rush, they pull him from the pool, then give him
artificial respiration, clearly saving his life. After a few minutes,
Clinton says to them, "Well, boys, today you
saved my life! And I am willing to give each of you any wish you
desire, as long as it is within my power as President!"
The first fellow thinks for a few seconds then says, "I have
always wanted to go to West Point. Can you get me an
appointment?"
"You bet!" said the President, "I'll sign the papers this
afternoon!"
Then the second fellow said, "I've always wanted to go to
Annapolis. Can you get me in?"
"You bet I can," said the President. "I'll sign the papers for it
this afternoon, too."
After a few moments more, the third fellow said, "I'd like to
know, can you get me buried in Arlington National Cemetery?"
Clinton, a bit startled, thought for a second or two, then said,
"Sure, but tell me, aren't you awfully young to be thinking about
such things?"
"Nope," replied the remaining fellow. "Because when I get home
and tell my old man what I did today, he's going to kill me!"
