Hi John, Joe ................


My last post was about this, I can imagine the conversation that preceded it .... went something like this, perhaps ...........

Hi John, Joe Biden

Hello Mister Vice President, what can I do for you?

Well, John, about this swearing in ceremony tomorrow, what do you want to use to swear on?

Joe, I've been thinking about that, if I use a bible, I'm pretty much obliged to be honest and truthful about almost everything, right? Well, your a politician and you can see the problems there.

Yea, I'd say pretty much.

I had a long talk with "him" yesterday, and I gathered there were a few things, well, to be honest, Joe, he let me know that he had an agenda of his own and it was his hope that by giving me this job that I would follow along. Anything like that ever happened to you?

Yea, almost daily.

Joe, the jobs a dream come true, I like the money, but I feel that I have to obey and uphold the constitution and the Bill of Rights, but if he's on my back all the time about making the "right" decision, I can see some problems. He's left me alone in the past. And, well, Kathy gets on my case too. You're more of a politician than I am Joe, what do you think?

Got an idea, John. I've been working nights, helping Chiquita, one of our housekeepers, well, I'm helping her get her citizenship papers, so I've been helping her study, and we were working on her .... aw American history, well, anyway, studying the Constitution.

And???

Well, the original did not have any of the Bill of Rights with it. Swear on that, I got Chiquita one out of the Library of Congress, it's old, maybe an original, I wanted her to have the best .... use that, cuts your options way down.

Joe, I knew I could count on you to come up with a solution. Is that the same Chiquita that worked at .......... aw......... well, never mind. Thanks Joe, haven't been sworn in yet!!!!!!!!
