Nakasone Jokes

  • Funny Jokes

    I heard Mort Sahl tell this story about Al Haig on the CBS
    morning TV program on March 24, 1987; this version is
    paraphrased from my notes.
    When Prime Minister Nakasone visited President Reagan, he
    asked for the auto import restrictions to be rescinded,
    saying ''We've had a rougher time of it; consider
    Hiroshima.''
    The Gipper was nonplused. ''What has that got to do
    with it?''
    ''Well, we've never destroyed one of your cities,''
    replied Nakasone.
    Quickly Haig cut in: ''What about Detroit?''
