President Bush may yet have reason to quit his day job: His comedic chops are slowly improving.

Take, for instance, some of his one-liners during his commencement address at Furman University over the weekend:

- “When your child graduates from college, it is a glorious day for your family, and a pretty good day for your bank account.”

- “Now, that means some at Furman will have heard graduation speeches from two generations of Bushes. It’s a great step forward for the Bush family — and a great step backward for your English Department.”
