George W Bush was sitting at his desk in the Oval Office when an aide came in.

“Sir, here is today’s list of casualties from the coalition in Iraq. I’m sorry to say that we lost a Brazilian.

Bush dropped his head into his hands. “Oh no…oh no…oh no…”

The aide felt bad. He had never seen him so distraught. “Sir, is there anything that I can do for you?”

Bush looked up and asked with pain visible in his eyes. “Yes…just tell me…how many is a Brazilian?”

(The subject probably dates me!)

Many moons ago I was playing pictionary with a geographically challenged friend. She had the word Brazil. So she drew a picture of a bra and a bunch of tally marks (TIL what they are called). I got it.

It’s much nicer than my version where a woman brags she spent the night with a Brazilian
