Silvio Berlusconi Tells The Bunga-bunga Joke...

Silvio Berlusconi explains that it was a joke between him and Colonel Gaddafi, who he counted as a firm friend. The joke goes:

A pair of Italian politicians are captured by a fierce African tribe and tied to poles. A tribal leader says to one of the Italians: “You, do you want to die or bunga bunga?” The politician chooses the second option. But bunga-bunga turns out to mean forced intercourse. “All the warriors in the village did him,” said Mr Berlusconi, laughing as he recounted the joke. The tribal leader then approaches the second Italian and asks the same question. The terrified Italian says: “I’d prefer to die.” The tribesman replies: “Fine, you will die, but first let’s do some bunga bunga!” Mr Berlusconi added: “It’s from this joke that the whole bunga bunga thing came from.”
