The President, First Lady and Dick Cheney were
flying on Air Force One. George looked at Laura, chuckled and said, "You
know, I could throw a $1,000 bill out of the window right now and make

Laura shrugged her shoulders and replied, "I could throw ten $100 bills
out of the window and make ten people very happy."
Cheney added, "That being the case, I could throw one hundred $10 bills
out of the window and make a hundred people very happy."
Hearing their exchange, the pilot rolled his eyes and said to his
co-pilot, "Such big-shots back there. Hell, I could throw all of them out
of the window and make 5.995 Billion people very happy.

On the heels of the Cheney “Downtime Requirements” document obtained by The

9. Four cartons of chocolate milk, and a package of Oreos, in honor of such Bush
aides as Claude “The Fraud” Allen.
8. Temperature set to 31 degrees — helps maintain Bush’s “brain freeze.”
