Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed."

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"

Just to give a better perspective since the article provides minimal data:

- Both teams, Cajueiro and Boa-Fé, were amateur teams.
- The town of Barriera is located 74km from the state capital Fortaleza.
- The player kicked the referee who fell and quickly pulled out his knife.
- The match occurred in a rural zone which helped the referee escape.
- The referee is on the run.
- The referee wasn't registered, he just knew the rules of the game and was frequently called to help.

"Officials hit finally back" - nice grammar.

It was an amateur game in a remote northeast small town. Nothing to do with any Brazilian league.

Not my favorite comment ever, but I can't blame you for taking a stab at it.

this joke has been in use long before either of those presidents, and probably longer than myself and many Diggers have been alive.

Why did they hit Finally back? What did Finally ever do to them?

It was. That is how old the joke is sadly.

No, it doesn't matter when since the inclusion of Rumsfeld limits it to two possible people.

A fairly sharp way of handling the situation.

Of course it matters, any life matters. I'm just saying that before anyone comes with "OMFG, he could have killed Kaká or Ronaldinho".

Oh. In that case, it doesn't matter.
