Blair Turns Down Bank

London, special correspondent.

Tony Blair has turned down the job as head of the World Bank. "I'm concerned that the UK might need a loan pretty soon and I don't want to get into any conflicts of interest," said the retiring PM. "I have been thinking about running as an independent for the presidency in the US, but now the Republicans are offering me the spot, so I have to think through my plans." "Retirement is really great," said his old friend, Bill "Baby Face" Clinton. "I'd like to spend some time shooting old friends like the boys in Texas do." Blair and Clinton broke out into laughter when they saw Wolfie walk by. "London is a smashing place!" said all the old boys.
