The ‘K’ word..!
Robert Clements
Monday, November 15, 2010 - The story goes, that before Obama left for India, he was briefed by his advisors: “Whatever you say Mr President do not say the ‘K’word!” “The ‘K’word?” “Yes Mr President, it’s a very delicate word between India and Pakistan, so do not ever mention…” “Kiss?” asked Obama.
“Kiss?” asked his advisors looking at each other, “Why ever shouldn’t you use the word ‘kiss’? “I don’t know, I just thought you guys might not want me to say ‘kiss’?” “No Mr President, it is not kiss!”
“I got it! I got it!” said the President, “It’s ‘kill’?” “No Mr President!” “Kidnap?” “No Mr President!” “It’s not kiss, nor kill, nor kidnap, that’s about most of the words I know beginning with K, Michelle you know any words beginning with K?” “Kitchen!” shouted Michelle, “that’s one K word I hate and one place I won’t be going near to on my trip to India!” “No it ain’t ‘kitchen’ madam!” “Gentlemen, is it ‘knight’?” asked the President. “Night does not begin with ‘K’ Mr President!” “Of course it does!” “It doesn’t Mr President!” “Hey I’m gonna call Ma ‘Lizbeth and she’s gonna tell you what Knight begins with!” “Ma Lizbeth?” “He’s talkin’ ‘bout the queen! She’s got a lot of knights and knaves around her all the time!” said Michelle, from the kitchen. “Oh that knight!” said both the advisors, “Okay Mr President, you’re right!” “So the ‘K’word I should not mention in India and Pakistan is ‘knight’?” asked Obama. “No it isn’t,” said a weary advisor, “It’s just that you got the spelling right for knight!” “You know something,” shouted Michele from the kitchen, “I think we both need a honeymoon together without you pesky advisors! What about a night, in a houseboat, in that beautiful lake in…” “Kashmir!” shouted Obama.
“Nooooooo!” shouted his advisors. “Don’t ever mention that ‘K’ word again! “So we can mention kiss, and kill and kidnap..” “And knight too..” smiled Michele. “But you don’t want us to mention..” “Nooooo!” shouted his advisors. “Sorry,” said Obama, “The ‘K’ word is the good word, and I’ll mention it when I want, because…” “He’s the President!” said Michele, and both shouted together, “Kashmir..!” as the advisors shuddered.
