Here is a neat twist on an old idea:

Hu's on First?!

We take you now to the Oval Office for a meeting between
President George W. Bush and Secretary of State Colin Powell
to discuss the new leader of China (Hu Jintao).

George: Colin! Nice to see you. What's happening?
Colin: Sir, I have the report here about the new leader of China.
George: Great. Lay it on me.
Colin: Hu is the new leader of China.
George: That's what I want to know.
Colin: That's what I'm telling you.
George: That's what I'm asking you. Who is the new leader of China?
Colin: Yes.
George: I mean the fellow's name.
Colin: Hu.
George: The guy in China.
Colin: Hu.
George: The new leader of China.
Colin: Hu.
George: The Chinaman!
Colin: Hu is leading China.
George: Now whaddya' asking me for?
Colin: I'm telling you Hu is leading China.
George: Well, I'm asking you. Who is leading China?
Colin: That's the man's name.
George: That's who's name?
Colin: Yes.
George: Will you or will you not tell me the name of the new leader
of China?
Colin: Yes, sir.
George: Yassir? Yassir Arafat is in China? I thought he was in the
Middle East.
Colin: That's correct.
George: Then who is in China?
Colin: Yes, sir.
George: Yassir is in China?
Colin: No, sir.
George: Then who is?
Colin: Yes, sir.
George: Yassir?
Colin: No, sir.
George: Look, Colin. I need to know the name of the new leader
of China. So get me the Secretary General of the U.N. on the phone.
Colin: Kofi?
George: No, thanks.
Colin: You want Kofi?
George: No.
Colin: You don't want Kofi.
George: No. But now that you mention it, I could use a glass of milk.
And then get me the U.N.
Colin: Yes, sir.
George: Not Yassir! The guy at the U.N.
Colin: Kofi?
George: Milk! Will you please make the call?
Colin: And call who?
George: Who is the guy at the U.N?
Colin: Hu is the guy in China.
George: Will you stay out of China?!
Colin: Yes, sir.
George: And stay out of the Middle East! Just get me the guy at the U.N.
Colin: Kofi.
George: Oh heck, all right! Yes, with cream and two sugars....
