How Much is a Brazillion?

This is funny.  It came to me from a life-long friend via the Internet.  I have to pass it on to you, my blog friends:

The Department of Defense gave the president a military briefing this morning.  They told Obama that two Brazilian soldiers were killed in Iraq this week.  To everyone's surprise all the color drained from Obama's face. Then he collapsed at his desk, head in his hands, visibly shaken, almost in tears.  Finally, he composed himself and asked, "Just how many is a brazillion?"

This is especially funny since he obviously has no understanding of a billion or trillion either.  

Also, to be really funny humor has to have an element of truth to it.  It's either laugh or cry.  Either way it is sad.
