As reported by Robert Ferrigno.
Vice President–elect Joe Biden noisily cleared his throat from just inside the door.
“Joltin’ Joe! What are you doing here, boy?” said W. “You’re supposed to be getting prepped from the Dickster.”
“Cheney has been putting me off all week,” said Biden. “Today he had to cancel because” — he made air quotes with his fingers — “he had to have the oil changed in his pacemaker.”
W. laughed and so did Obama.
“I don’t think it’s funny,” Biden complained.
“Of course you don’t,” said W., “That’s why you’re second banana. Now scoot.”
Biden looked at Obama. “I thought I was going to be allowed to sit in — ”
“Sorry Joe-Joe, this sit-down is for POTUSes only,” said W. “Or is it POTI?”
“Go on, Joe,” soothed Obama. “I’ll e-mail you later.”
W. waited for Biden to leave. The veep-in-training tried to slam the door, but it had weighted gimbals so that it closed gently. Clinton had the gimbals installed during his first term when Hillary had cracked the door-frame twice in one week.
