Senator of Washington: "What's going on? Where is the birthday celebrant? Why hasn't she come out yet?" Hope all was well, it would be terrible if something had happened and the party got canceled.
Senator's wife: "Something must have happened to the First Lady. What could it be?
"Ladies and gentlemen, if you would, please bear with us for a moment, the birthday celebrant would be out soon. There's some delay, and we're trying to find out what it is at this moment." The host was doing his best to calm the guests while looking downcast.
"But in the meantime, why don't you all enjoy the platters and dance to the beautiful pieces the violinist and pianist have prepared specially for this occasion." He signaled to the orchestra to start playing a sweet melody for the guests to enjoy. Once the music began playing, he quickly ran towards the VIP room reserved for the First Family.
