George W. Bush, Tony Blair and Jacques Chirac were relaxing in a Parisian sauna.

Suddenly, there was a distinct beeping sound.

President Bush pressed his forearm with his thumb & the beeping stopped.

The others looked curiously at him. “Oh, that was just my pager”, said George. “I have a microchip embedded under the skin of my forearm.”

Two minutes later, the silence was broken by the sound of a phone ringing.

Tony Blair lifted the palm of his hand to his ear and the ringing stopped. The Prime Minister explained, “That was my cell phone, chaps. I have a telecom chip implanted in the palm of my hand. ”

By this time, French president Jacques Chirac was feeling sort of low-tech. Without saying anything, he quickly scooted out of the sauna, but returned momentarily.

When he returned, Bush and Blair both stared at him incredulously.

It appeared that a long piece of toilet paper was dangling from the Frenchman’s posterior. When Jacques saw that he had the attention of the other two men, he feigned astonishment: “Marie Sainte! I’m think I’m getting a fax.”
