On Bill Clinton's last day in the White House, his departing aides played a curious practical joke on the incumbent president, George W. Bush.

When Dubya's own staffers arrived, they were astonished to find that each of the building's computers had had the "W" key removed from its keyboard!

[At one of his White House going-away parties Clinton's staff gave him a modified Presidential seal emblazoned with the words: Rock 'n' Roll President of the United States.]

[Turkish publications may be fined for using the letter W (part of the Kurdish alphabet but not the Turkish one), on the grounds that its use encourages ethnic separatism.]
