The VP whips out his cell phone and calls 911.
He says to the operator, "I think one of my associates is dead! What should I do?"
The operator, in a calm soothing voice says, "Just take it easy and follow my instructions. First, let's make sure he's dead."
There is a silence... and then a shot is heard.
Cheney's voice comes back on the line, "Okay, now what?"
"First thing, we kill all the lawyers."
