New York 2032....

[Jake]

A man and his son are walking through a highly built-up
Manhattan when they come across an empty space and the father stops to reflect for a while. "Imagine son," the father says, "exactly 31 years ago the great twin towers stood proudly in this area".

Intrigued by the comment the son then asks, "what were the twin towers dad?"

To which the father replies, "they were two of the largest buildings in the world and they housed many thousands of offices.... but in 2001 they were destroyed by arabs.

The son pauses for a while and then asks, "what were Arabs dad?"

A variation: An aid to the president is greeting a Saudi ambassador

The aid says, "Well, your Excellency, anything I can do to help you, I will do."

The Saudi whispers, "My son watches this show 'Star Trek' and in it there are Russians and Blacks and Asians, but never any Arabs. He is very upset. He doesn't understand why there are never any Arabs in Star Trek."

The aid laughs and leans over, "That's because it takes place in the future!"

I like this one:

Bush and Powell are sitting in a bar. A guy walks in and asks the barman, "Isn't that Bush and Powell?"

The barman says, "Yep, that's them."

So the guy walks over and says, "Hello, what are you guys doing?"

And Bush says, "We're planning world war 3"

The guy says, "Really? What's going to happen?"

Bush says, "Well, we're going to kill 10 million Afghans and one bicycle repairman."

The guy exclaimed, "Why are you gonna kill a bicycle repairman?!!!"

So Bush turns to Powell and says, "See, I told you no one would worry about 10 million Afghans!"
