Saturday pronunciation humor

One morning Cheney and George W. Bush were having brunch at a Washington restaurant. The attractive waitress asks Cheney what he would like and he replies, "I'll have a bowl of oatmeal and some fruit."
"And what can I get for you, sir?" she asks George W. Bush. He replies, "How about a quickie?"
"Why, Mr. President" the waitress says, "How rude..! You're starting to act like Mr. Clinton and you haven't even been in office for a full term yet!"
As the waitress storms away, Cheney leans over to Bush and whispers: "It's pronounced 'quiche'."

The first time this was attributed to Bush on Usenet appears to have been December, 2000, in soc.culture.vietnamese.

and it was told that way (as a joke, of course) by the (London) Time
