The Bone Yard

The year is 2024 and the United States has just elected the first woman as
President of the United States .

A few days after the election, the president-elect calls her father in Omaha
and asks, "So, Dad, I assume you will be coming to my inauguration?

"I don't think so. It's a long drive; your mom isn't as young as she used to
be, we'll have the dog with us, and my arthritis is acting up in my knee."

"Don't worry about it, Dad, I'll send Air Force One or another support
aircraft to pick you up and take you home, and a limousine will pick you up
at your door," she said.

"I don't know. Everybody will be so fancy. What would your mother wear?"

"Oh, Dad," she replied, "I'll make sure she has a wonderful gown custom-made
by one of the best designers in New York ."

"Honey," Dad complained, "You know we can't eat those rich foods you and
your friends like to eat."

The President-elect responded, "Don't worry, Dad. The entire affair is going
to be handled by the best caterer in D.C. And I'll ensure your meals are
salt-free. Dad, I really want you to come."

So her parents reluctantly agreed, and on January 20, 2024 arrived to see
their daughter sworn in as President of the United States .

The parents of the new President are seated in the front row. The
President's dad sees that a Senator is sitting next to him and leans over
and whispers, "You see that woman up there with her hand on the Bible,
becoming President of the United States ?"

The Senator whispered in reply, "Yes, sir, I sure do."

Dad says proudly,

"Her brother played football at Nebraska".
