(Laughter) And the story began, "Former Vice President Al Gore announced in Nigeria yesterday," quote: 'My wife Tipper and I have opened a low-cost family restaurant'" -- (Laughter) "'named Shoney's, and we are running it ourselves.'" (Laughter) Before I could get back to U.S. soil, David Letterman and Jay Leno had already started in on -- one of them had me in a big white chef's hat, Tipper was saying, "One more burger with fries!"
A notícia começava assim "O ex-vice-presidente Al Gore anunciou ontem na Nigéria: " 'Eu e a minha esposa Tipper abrimos um restaurante familiar económico... (Risos) " '... chamado Shoney's, e estamos nós próprios a geri-lo' ". (Risos) Antes de chegar a solo americano David Letterman e Jay Leno já tinham iniciado a brincadeira. Um deles colocou-me um enorme chapéu branco de cozinheiro, enquanto Tipper dizia: "Mais um hambúrguer com batatas fritas!"
