a joke i'd never heard before, that was actually funny

So the president is getting briefed about some sort of major disaster, and the numbers of casualties.  Six Japanese people were killed, four Russians, at least two Germans, etc., etc. -- and he's going Okay, okay, taking note of all this, but not reacting particularly strongly -- until he hears that three Brazilian people were killed as well in the incident, and he's absolutely horrified.  Oh my god!  That's terrible!

And while everyone is wondering what on Earth makes these victims so different from those victims, the president leans over to his chief of staff and whispers:

"Just how big is a brazillion?"

Hee, I just heard this one for the first time yesterday--I wonder if we got it from the same place.

i'm inclined to doubt that we did, on account of i got it from a canadian neighbor who got it from his brother.

of course, if you're in touch with my neighbor or his brother, we could be having a whole other conversation. [g]
