BJOTD - a golden oldie...
-
Saddam Hussein phoned President Clinton and told him, "Bill, I just call to tell you I had a wonderful dream last night. I could see America, the whole America, and it was beautiful, on each house I saw a banner." Clinton asked, "Saddam, what could you see on the banner?" Saddam replied, "Allah is God, God is Allah." Clinton said, "You know, Saddam, I am really happy you called. Last night I had a similar dream. I could see Bagdad, the whole of Bagdad, and it was more beautiful than ever, after the war it had been rebuilt completely and each house had a banner on top." Saddam asked, "Say, Bill, what could you see on the banner?" Clinton replied, "I don't know, I can't read Hebrew."

You can tell when a joke is old when one of it's participants is no longer alive.

What war? Baghdad was not touched during the Gulf war.

yeah, way to make sure the joke is real. Don't let him get away with that trash.
If it moves, compile it
I know jokes aren't real but this really doesn't make sense. American houses have banners on them and there is no mention of them being destroyed in the war. So it follows that the Baghdad houses can have banners on them too without having to say they were destroyed in the war. It's strange as the joke seems to relate to the first Gulf War but has Clinton(I would have expected Bush Snr) in it and mkaes the reference to the destroyed houses when the war was in a different Country. Just seems like one of these old jokes that have evolved to fit the most recent situation but hasn't been evolved properly.

That isn't a prerequisite for a joke

I'm glad you pointed that out. I think you are right, the houses don't have to be destroyed to have banners on them.

No, but it helps and it wouldn't have been hard to fix this one.
