Not so funny
Proof that Robert Mugabe is a funny man:
Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe emerged strengthened and typically combative at the weekend after the overwhelming, but disputed, victory of his Zanu-PF party in parliamentary elections.
Mr Mugabe, 81, and in power for 25 years, vowed on Saturday that he would rule until he was 100. Asked when he planned to retire, he laughed: "When I am a century old." [emphasis mine]
That's a good one. It would be even better if he didn't actually mean it.
