By the way, here is the joke in the original form I first saw it in...

Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed."

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the president sits, head in hands.

Finally, Bush looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"

Secretary of Defense Robert Gates is briefing President Bush:
"Yesterday, three Brazilian soldiers were killed.

"OH NO!" cries the President. <pause> "How many is a brazillion?"

That is an old joke preceding Robert Gates by a few years (it goes back to the days of Donald Rumsfeld days; at least that is when I first saw it). I have a side hobby doing anagrams (online) and when that joke first went around, I created an anagram of it which I have pasted below. All the text above the equal sign can be rearranged to produce the text below the equal sign (without adding or removing any letters)...

Harping on, Donald Rumsfeld, while giving
Bush his daily noon-briefing talk, soon reports
that, "Yesterday, three Brazilian soldiers were
killed by the enemy."

Weeping, the US president grimly yelled,
"NO! NO!", adding, "That is terrible, so very
terrible!" Then Bush, looking harried,
offhandedly asks, "How many is a brazillion?"
