C'mon then...Who's got my watch?


Recommended Posts

This news item concerning Dubya really made chuckle this morning. :hihi:

 

You couldn't make it up! :hihi:

 

Telegraph Online today

 

When George W Bush began shaking hands with enthusiastic well-wishers in Albania he was wearing a watch. When he stopped a few minutes and dozens of hearty welcomes later, he was not.

 

 

In the bottom picture the president appears to be searching for something

 

 

What happened to the watch became the subject of intense international speculation yesterday.

 

The Albanian media and websites, which carried video of the event in Fushe Kruje, 15 miles north of Tirana on Sunday, speculated that the best-protected man in the world had been fleeced.

 

Pictures show the president starting his walk along the crowd with the watch on his left wrist. In the next, a firm hand covers the relevant part of his arm, and in the last his wrist is bare and Mr Bush is gazing down as if searching for something.

 

Albania's police chief, perhaps sensitive to his compatriots' reputation for petty crime, moaned: "This is not true."

 

A White House spokesman explained: "The president put it in his pocket and it returned safely home." However, none of the footage shows the president removing his watch.

I watched the footage this morning, and it does indeed look like someone was trying to take the watch, and possibly undid the strap, but the it does look like Bush took the watch off and put it in his pocket... Slow news day I guess.
