Jeff Victor got this from Flora Costigan. I'm giving it to you. I'm
sure the conservatives on the list will give it to me soon enough.

Colin Powell, Dick Cheney, and George W. Bush were set to face a firing
squad in a small Central American country. Colin Powell was the first
one placed against the wall and just before the order to shoot him was
given, he yelled out, "Earthquake!" The firing squad fell into a panic
and Colin jumped over the wall and escaped in the confusion. Dick Cheney
was the second one placed against the wall. The squad was reassembled
and Dick pondered what the Secretary of State had done. Before the order
to shoot was given, Dick yelled out, "Tornado!"
Again the squad fell apart and Dick slipped over the wall. The last
person, George W. Bush, was placed against the wall. He was thinking "I
see the pattern here, just scream out a disaster and hop over the wall."
As the squad was reassembled and the rifles raised in his direction he
grinned and yelled, "Fire!"
