There are two major products to come out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX. We don't believe this to be a coincidence.

Bill and Hillary are at the first baseball game of the season. The umpire walks up to the VIP section and yells something, suddenly Clinton grabs Hillary by the collar and throws her over the side and onto the field. The stunned umpired shouted, "No, Mr. President! I said, `Throw the first PITCH!'"

Bill and Hillary are at a restaurant. The waiter tells them tonight's special is chicken almondine and fresh fish. "The chicken sounds good; I'll have that," Hillary says. The waiter nods. "And the vegetable?" he asks. "Oh, HE'll have the fish," Hillary replies.

Q. Bill and Hillary are on a sinking boat. Who gets saved?
A. The nation.

Q: What does Bill say to Hillary after having Sex?
A: "Honey, I'll be home in 20 minutes."

Clinton is looking out of the window and he notices that someone has urinated the message, "BILL SUCKS!" on the White House Lawn. Furious, he orders the FBI to take urine and handwriting samples from every member of the White House staff and find the culprit immediately.
A week later, the FBI director calls. "Mr. President, I have good news and bad news," he says. "The good news is that the urine belongs to Bob Dole." "And the bad news?" Clinton demands. After a slight pause, the director replies, "Sir, eh, eh, the handwriting belongs to your wife!"

Clinton returns from a vacation in Arkansas and walks down the steps of Air Force One with two pigs under his arms. At the bottom of the steps, the honor guardsman steps forward and remarks,
"Nice pigs, Mr. President"
Clinton replies, "I'll have to let you know that these are genuine Arkansas Razor-Back Hogs. I got this one for Chelsea and this one for Hillary. So, now what do you think?"
The honor guardsman answers: "Nice trade, Sir."
