Jean Chretien awoke one morning to a glorious day. The sky was clear, the sun was bright and radiant. Jean decided to walk to Parliament Hill. As he was walking, he looked up at the sun and said, "Mister Sun, 'oo is de greatest Prime Minister this country 'as ever 'ad?"
The sun beamed down upon Jean, and in a booming voice replied, "Jean, there is no doubt that you are the greatest Prime Minister that Canada has ever had!"
Jean's chest puffed out and he arrived at work feeling wonderful and important. He had a marvelous day. So marvelous that he decided to walk home. The evening was as glorious as the morning had been. As he walked back to 24 Sussex he looked up at the setting sun and asked, "So mister Sun, am I not the greatest Prime Minister that Canada ever 'ad?"
The sun looked down at him, and in a booming voice said, "Jean, you are an asshole. The country has never seen a more pitiful Prime Minister in its entire history."
Taken aback, Jean responded, "But dis morning you said dat I was de best Prime Minister ever. Why did you change your mind?"
"This morning I was in the East. Tonight, I'm in the West." |
