Saving Billy

Three young college students are on vacation in Washington, DC. One day they are walking together past the White House when they hear the voice of a man crying out, "Help, Help."


Quickly, they respond to the call by leaping over the White House fence, and by following the cries, they eventually come upon Bill Clinton, drowning in the White House swimming pool. In an heroic rush, they pull him from the pool, then give him artificial respiration, clearly saving his life.


After a few minutes, Clinton says to them, "Well, boys, today you saved my life! And I am willing to give each of you any wish you desire, as long as it is within my power as President!"


The first fellow thinks for a few seconds then says, "I have always wanted to go to West Point. Can you get me an appointment?"


"You bet!" said the President, "I'll sign the papers this afternoon!"


Then the second fellow said, "I've always wanted to go to Annapolis. Can you get me in?"


"You bet I can," said the President. "I'll sign the papers for it this afternoon, too."


After a few moments more, the third fellow said, "I'd like to know, can you get me buried in Arlington National Cemetery?"


Clinton, a bit startled, thought for a second or two, then said, "Sure, but tell me, aren't you awfully young to be thinking about such things?"


"Nope," replied the remaining fellow. "Because when I get home and tell my old man what I did today, he's going to kill me!"
