Clintons and their dog

Hillary Clinton called Bill into her office one day and said, 'Bill, I
have a great idea! I know how we can win back middle America and
secure my presidential victory in 2008.” She tells him, “We'll go
down to a local Wal-Mart, get some cheezy clothes and shoes, like
most middle Americans wear and then we'll stop at the pound and pick
up a Labrador. When we look the part we'll go to a nice old country
bar in middle America, and we'll show them that we really enjoy the
countryside and show admiration and respect for the hard working
people living there."

A few days later, all decked out and with the requisite Labrador at
heel, they set off from New York in a westerly direction.

Eventually they arrived at just the place they were looking for. With
dog in tow they walk into the bar. They step up to the bar and the
bartender takes a step back and say's, "Aren't you Bill and Hillary
Clinton ?"

Hillary answers, "Yes we are, and what a lovely town you have here.
We were just passing through and Bill suggested that we stop
and take in some local color." They order a couple of cocktails
from the bartender and proceed to drink them down, all the while
chatting up a storm with anyone who would listen.

All of a sudden, the bar room door opens and a grizzled old farmer
comes in. He walked up to the Labrador, lifted its tail and looked
underneath, shrugged his shoulders and walks out the door.

A few moments later, in came another old farmer. He walked up to
the dog, lifted its tail, looked underneath, scratched his head and
then left the bar.

Over the course of the next hour or so, another four or five farmers
came in, lifted the dog's tail, and went away looking puzzled.

Eventually Hillary and Bill could stand it no longer and called the
bartender over. “Tell me,” said Hillary, “Why did all those old farmers
come in and look under the dog's tail like that? Is it some sort of
old custom?”

“Good Lord no,” said the bartender. “It’s just that someone has
told them that there was a Labrador in this bar with two ass holes!"
