The President was up working late one night when Teddy Roosevelt’s ghost drifted into the Oval Office. Jimmy Carter jumped up and offered him his chair. “No,” said TR. “You’re the President now; I’m just haunting the place. How’s it going?”

“Not too good,” said Carter; “the Iranians have imprisoned fifty-two of our diplomatic personnel.” “So you sent in the Marines, right?” said TR. “Uh, no,” drawled Carter, “but Ah registered strong protest at the United Nations.”

“Anything else?” TR asked in a cold voice. “Well, the Russians just invaded Afghanistan,” Jimmy said. “And of course you retaliated with every weapon in our arsenal,” TR said confidently. “No,” shrugged Jimmy, “but Ah’ve withdrawn our athletes from the Olympics.”

At that, TR blew his top and shouted, “The next thing you’re going to tell me is you’ve given back the Panama Canal.”

I take it this is quite an old joke.
