Thunder's White House Easter Roll: AN EASTER SPECIAL

 

                  Thunder woke up and walked into the presidential bathroom, so that he could take a shower.

After he took a shower, he brushed his teeth and hair to look nice for his wife, Maxine (as well as the 

public).  The problem was he was going to be on camera, and he had his suit and Saint Patrick's Day 

tie on, this was Easter Monday too.  This is, however, how he appeared too the breakfast group, which 

would include his wife, Maxine.

                    Maxine stood up on her hind legs, whispering in Thunder's ear, "Honey is something 

bothering you?  You are wearing your St. Patrick's Day tie, and it is Easter Monday.  Think of all of 

the children as well as their parents."

                   Thunder hangs his head and has a servant bring him his tie with eggs and rabbits on it.  He

then places it on, as he takes Maxine out to the balcony (after breakfast) and relays the following story:

               "I had a meeting with Big Chicken, the head of the SPCA, and she was requesting I replace the

egg role with the potato role."

                Maxine interrupted him and said, "Well you are of course doing what Big Chicken wants 

aren't you?  After all the ASPCA made it possible for you to have a doctor in psychology, be Co-

CEO at Universal Pizza, as well as being Vice-President of the USA and then eventually becoming 

President of the USA."

                 Thunder let out a howl asking his wife not to interrupt he was well aware of his resume'.

                  Maxine just bowed her head an apologized for interrupting.

                 So, Thunder went on with his story and said:  "As I stated before Big Chicken wants us to

use potatoes instead of eggs to roll.  according to her it takes thirty-six days for a chicken to make an

egg.  To which I pointed out an average chicken will lay more than one egg in a day.

               "She then claimed they were raised in a factory in a cage on a piece of paper no bigger than a 

piece of typing paper.  To which I explained to her we used cage free eggs here at the White House for 

all activities we have with eggs.  I told her that all the chickens at the factories were paid nicely for

their eggs.  Furthermore, most of the chickens were street walkers and were trying to do it with in the 

bounds of the law."

                 Thunder then let out a howl, and said, "sometimes the old ways are the best ways."

                 Maxine scratched behind Thunder's ears as she gave him a kiss picking up books to read to 

the children.  She and Thunder then walked out to the South Lawn hand in hand on their hind legs.
