When Your Husband Is Having a Stroke

What should you do?

A. Alert the Secret Service medical team so they can provide immediate life-saving medical assistance.

B. Try to slide down in your seat so that no one can see you.

C. Sic Major and Commander to go up and lick the President's pant leg to distract him from his awful performance.

D. Wait calmly. Your husband has no living brain cells anyway, so the stroke can't do any damage. Then drag him to Waffle House for an after-party celebration.

Correct Answer - D.

Some of you may have thought that A. was the correct answer. But the rotund, purple-haired, one-legged lesbian that Joe put in charge of the Secret Service medical staff has no medical training, so it wouldn't have done any good anyway.

    Comical as it is … and it is hilarious … it’s also the worst Constitutional crisis - by far - that the US ever endured. The President of the United States was incapacitated and unable to perform the functions of his office. And we have no idea who was running the country in his name. And a major political party in conjunction with the vast majority of the media here AND abroad covered it up for years!!!!!
