Re: I suspect this was partly a language translation issue. What we have here is a failure to communicate. Say I tell you a funny joke about the number 15. Did you get it? Of course not. Because the number 15 isn't funny. What is missing is context. And the joke. So, here's Joke #15: So, Senate Majority Leider Bill Frist, Dick Cheney and Little George Bush decide to go out for a drink after work. When they get to the bar, they want to act superior so Frist order first and asks for a B&C. The bartender is baffled and asks for clarification. Frist says, in his elegant Tennessean accent, "why I want the finest product of my state, a bourbon and coke". Dick Cheney orders next. He asks for a G&T. The bartender says, "gotcha, a gin & tonic". Not to be upstaged by his buddy's shorthand, George Bush asks for "15". The bartender considers this for a moment. Then he asks the President "What's a 15?" George Bush dismissively responds "a 7 and 7".
