TRACK AND FIELD HUMOR
.
George H. Bush certainly never created the impression that he was one of American politics’ stand-up funny-men.
.
Yet he demonstrated a good sense of humor when he flubbed a line during his 1988 presidential campaign.
.
Bush said, “We’ve had triumphs. We’ve made mistakes. We’ve had sex.”
.
“Sex” was the tongue-tied replacement for “setbacks.”
.
Bush recovered easily from his flub by saying,
.
“I feel like the javelin thrower who won the toss and elected to receive.”
