"The Mango Caper..."

JUNIOR AND THE HINDUS...

Okay, Mr. President, let’s get down to business. Don’t tell anyone, but I made a special trip here for those Indian mangos… The kids are crazy about them… Do you know what it’s like to be deprived of something you like? . What do I have to do to have them on the table? You tell me…..

I know. I know. You didn’t sign the nuclear proliferation treaty…and that wasn’t nice. Mr. President. You embarrassed me in front of those other boys. I mean what all those other boys like North Korean and Iran going to think about the way we enforce our laws?...

Back to the mangos, huh?

Okay, let’s talk turkey….

Here’s the deal: I will give you anything you want if you’ll agree to send those mangos over…

You say you already have just about everything you need from us…

I see, so what can we deal about?

Oh, nuclear technology and support? Sounds good. I think we can help you there.
But if I do that, I’m going to have some of my inspectors over….

No, don’t worry. We won’t look where we’re not supposed to.
And I’ll put in the deal that you guys can still build how many?.... 50 nuclear weapons a year?

Oh, you only need 20? Okay, that’s a wrap.

You drive a hard bargain, Mr. President. But I expect to get a bag of those mangos for
the trip back?

Okay, we’re cooking….

Well, I’ve got to call it a night. Got to run down and see that guy Gandhi’s shrine…
Or Rove will ream me out…

I’ll catch you a little later. Me and the boys are going out for a good Hindu steak dinner…

What’s that about cows? You don’t eat them. You got to be putting me on…
You boys don’t know what you’re missing!....

Okay, cowpoke, let me give you a good ole’ Texas hug.

Hey, by the way, you guys got any oil?

Ciao!
