I need to know the name of the new leader of China. Get me the Secretary General of the U.N. on the phone. <BR>Condi: Kofi? <BR> <BR>George: No, thanks. <BR>Condi: You want Kofi? <BR> <BR>George: No. <BR>Condi: You don&#39;t want Kofi. <BR> <BR>George: No. But now that you mention it, I could use a glass of milk. And then get me the U.N. <BR>Condi: Yes, sir. <BR> <BR>George: Not Yassir! The guy at the U.N. <BR>Condi: Kofi? <BR> <BR>George: Milk! Will you please make the call? <BR>Condi: And call who? <BR> <BR>George: Who is the guy at the U.N? <BR>Condi: Hu is the guy in China. <BR> <BR>George: Will you stay out of China?! <BR>Condi: Yes, sir. <BR> <BR>George: And stay out of the Middle East! Just get me the guy at the U.N. <BR>Condi: Kofi. <BR> <BR>George: All right! With cream and two sugars. Now get on the phone. <BR>&#40;Condi picks up the phone.&#41; <BR>Condi: Rice, here. <BR> <BR>George: Rice? Good idea. And a couple of egg rolls, too. Maybe we should send some to the guy in China. And the Middle East. Can you get Chinese food in the Middle East?
