Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe, 90, fell down steps from a podium after speaking to supporters upon his return from Ethiopia, say witnesses.

This message approved by Gerald Ford.
That’s a great chart!
Too bad that he wasn’t leaning over Victoria Falls at the time . . .
What, no video?!
Reporters apparently deleted video over fear of reprisals.
LOL!
I remember one from the early days, where Bill Murray was playing an IRA suspect, being interrogated about a letter bomb that he'd sent:
"What we need to know is where did you send it from, is it primed or not and when's it supposed to go off"?
