Tony Blair goes on a Peace Envoy visit to Israel.


While he is on a tour of Jerusalem
he suffers a heart attack and passes away.

The undertaker tells the British diplomats accompanying him,
“You can have him shipped home for £5,000,000,
or you can bury him here, in the Holy Land, for just £100.”

The British Diplomats go into a corner and discuss for a minute.
They come back to the undertaker,
to tell him they want Tony shipped home.

The undertaker is puzzled and asks,
“Why would you spend £5,000,000 to ship him back home,
when it would be wonderful to be buried here
- and you would spend only £100?
With the money saved you could pay back some of the deficit,
fund the Olympic Games - or perhaps help the needy.”

The British Diplomats replied,
“Long ago a man died here, was buried here
and three days later he rose from the dead.
We just can't take the risk.”

I'm gonna unzip Blair and zip in Dumbya.

Change the money denomination, and you've got a great joke.

Or wishful thinking.
