George W. scratched his head and said, "Well, five, I think."

"Wrong," said George Sr. "You can only eat just one. After that, your stomach isn't empty any more! Gotcha!"

George W. was impressed so he decided to pull the joke on his wife, Laura, when he got home.

"Hey, Honey, how many cookies can you eat on an empty stomach?"

Laura Bush thought for a minute or two (it takes awhile for both those brain cells to fire together) and said, "Two."

Dubyah was dejected. "Ah, hon, if you'd said *FIVE* I had a GREAT joke for you!"
