    Reminds me of a joke from back in the day, can’t bother to update it:

    President George W. and Colin Powell are drinking in a pub close Old Town Square in Prague. A guy walks in and asks the bartender,“Isn’t that Bush and Powell sitting over there?” The barman says, “Yep, that’s them.”

    So the guy walks over and says, “Wow,this is a real honor. What are you guys doing in here?”

    Bush says, “We’re planning WW III,” and the guy says, “Really? What’s going to happen?”

    Bush says, “Well, we’re going to kill 40 million Iraqis this time and one blonde with big breasts.”

    A little perplexed the guy exclaimed, “A blonde with big breasts? Why kill a blonde with big breasts?”

    Bush turns to Powell, punches him on the shoulder and says, "See, smart ass?! I told you no one would worry about the 40 million Iraqis.
