Iraqis On Star Trek
The Iraqi Ambassador to the UN was walking down the hallway and bumped into President Bush.
Hoping
to break the ice with an innocuous comment, the ambassador quickly
said, “Respectfully, sir. I have a question about what I’ve seen in
America.”
Politely, President Bush answered, “If I can help explain things to you, please let me know.”
The
Iraqi whispered. “My little girl watches this show called ‘Star Trek’
and in this show, there’s Chekov who is a Russian, Scotty who is
Scottish, Sulu who is Chinese… but there aren’t any Iraqis. Why aren’t
there any Iraqis on Star Trek?”.
President Bush whispered back to the ambassador, “It’s because Star Trek takes place in the future.”
