Clinton Offered 40 Goats For Chelsea
A rather amusing story that has been buried in the e-mail inbox for a few days:
Clinton Offered 40 Goats For Daughter (Sky News)
Former US president Bill Clinton has been offered 40 goats and 20 cows for his daughter by a love-struck African government official. Mr Clinton was offered the deal on a recent trip to Kenya. He was offered the animals as a traditional African way of getting a father to give away his daughter’s hand in marriage. The dowry is a very generous one by the country’s own standards.
Godwin Kipkemoi Chepkurgor wrote to Mr Clinton through Kenya’s Foreign Minister. He said: “Had I succeeded in wooing Chelsea, I would have had a grand wedding.
Indeed.

40 goats! What is he crazy! He’d have to give me two goats to marry her.
Just think how many goats Jenna would rake in … Bush might be tempted.
Don’t laugh!
40 goats at 150.00 = 6,000
20 cows at 1,000 = 20,000
that comes to 26,000.
I would take it. Put those on some land and let them multiply and make a great profit.
That is only 10 goats more than he offered for Hillary.
I’m not the Clinton’s biggest fan, but I think this is kind of sweet.
Newsflash – Clinton negotiates new deal for 20 goats that includes Chelsea and Hillary. Terms say suitor must be willing to accept both the bride and her mother-in-law until death do they part.
Looks like there’s a “daughters of former heads of state” bubble! Watch out!
The guy tried ot throw in a pig but Clinton said he already had one of those…
Oh, I’m sorry, was this a caption contest?
Wow. Even I wouldn’t have posted some of these comments.
Doesn’t stop me from snickering, but at least I feel guilty about it. 😉
