a daisy chain of jokes

Okay, I read this joke in a comment by edwaado in angry chimp's blog. Edwaado credited his knowledge of it to Simon Hoggart who appearantly attributes it to Andy Hamilton. Whew.

Dubya's in the Oval Office getting the daily sit-rep on Iraq. Rumsfeld says: "I have to tell you, Mr President, that yesterday three Brazilian soldiers were killed."
To his surprise Bush groans and buries his head in his hands, saying over and over, "That is just terrible, terrible news. Remind me again, just how many is a brazillion?"
