The Rich Sultan

"The Rich Sultan"

Once upon a time, a Sultan was blessed with the birth
of a son after years of hoping. The boy immediately
became the apple of his father's eye. Just before his
son's sixth birthday, the Sultan said to him, "Son, I love
you very much. Your birthday is coming soon. What
would you like?"

His son replied, "Daddy, I would like to have my own
airplane." His father bought him American Airlines.

Just before his son's seventh birthday, the Sultan said,
"Son, you are my pride and joy. Ask what you want for
your birthday. Whatever it is, it's yours."

His son replied, "Daddy, I would like a boat." His father
bought him the Princess Cruise Line.

Just before his son's eight birthday, the Sultan said,
"Son, you bring so much happiness into my life.
Anything you want, I shall get for you."

His son replied, "Daddy, I would like to be able to watch
cartoons." His father bought him Disney Studios.

Just before his son's ninth birthday, the Sultan said,
"Son, you are my life. Your birthday is coming soon.
Ask what you wish. I will get it for you." His son, who
had grown to love Disney, replied, "Daddy, I would
like a Mickey Mouse outfit and a Goofy outfit."

His father bought him the Democratic Party and
the CBS news.

"New Lexus"

A lady bought a new Lexus, which cost a bundle. Two
days later, she brought it back complaining that the
radio wasn't working.

"Madam," said the sales manager, "the audio system
in this car is completely automated. All you need to do
is tell it what you want to listen to and you will hear
exactly that!"

She drives out, somewhat amazed and a little confused.
She looks at the radio and says, "Nelson." The radio
responded, "Ricky or Willie?" Soon she was speeding
down the highway to the sounds of "On The Road Again."
The lady was astounded. If she wanted Beethoven, that's
what she got. If she wanted, Nat King Cole, she got it.

Stopped at an intersection, her light turned green and
she pulled out. Off to her right, out of the corner of her
eye, she saw a sports utility vehicle speeding toward her.
She swerved and narrowly avoided a collision.

"A*SHOLE..." she muttered.

And, from the radio: "Ladies and gentlemen, the
President of the United States."
