After the elections the new President goes to visit Russia... ... in order to foster good will. As a traditional show of respect the Russians perform a 21-gun salute. A few blocks away a little old babushka walking down the street is startled by the great noise and asks a young man passing by ""What is happening? Is this the start of World War III?"" The young man laughs and answer ""No, nothing like that. The American President has come to Russia."" Satisfied with the answer the old woman continues on her way. Moments later the second salvo of the 21-gun salute goes off. Again startled, she asks a different young man ""What is happening?"" The young man says ""Haven't you heard? The American President has come to our country."" She nods knowingly and says ""Ahh, they missed the first time.""
