I'll leave you with a joke...
President Bush was being briefed in his Cabinet meeting, and Donald Rumsfeld was giving his report. He wound up by reporting that three Brazilian soldiers were killed over the weekend.
President Bush was stunned. He sat in silence for a moment. His head collapsed into his hands and he began to openly weep.
The Cabinet and Staff all remained silent, never having seen a reaction like this from the President before.
After several silent moments, the President wearily raised his head, wiped a tear from his eye and asked, "How many IS a Brazillion?"
