Dr. Madeline Albright at Santa Clara Convention Center (part 2)
Dr. Madeline Albright – former Secretary of State spoke at the Santa Clara, CA Convention Center today, about 3 miles from the school where I teach so I thought I would drop by and listen in.
Not only was she the first female US Secretary of State and the highest ranking female in American history, Dr. Albright was unanimously approved by the Senate.
Something Dr. Albright said reminded me of a joke one of my student’s ( a native Iranian) told.
President Clinton, Queen Elizabeth and President Ahmadinejad of Iran each died and went to hell.
The Queen asked the Devil if she could make a phone call back home. The Devil complied. After an hour the Devil handed the Queen a bill for $200.
President Clinton decided he wanted to make a phone call, too. Once again the Devil complied. After an hour, the Devil handed him a bill for $2000.
At this Ahmadinejad decided he wanted to make a call as well. He talked for nearly 24 hours straight before he finally realized he should ask the Devil about the charges. The Devil said it would be $2. When Ahmadinejad asked why it was so cheap, the Devil replied "Hell to Hell is not long distance."
