Former US president Bill Clinton has been offered 40 goats and 20 cows for his daughter by a love-struck African government official.

Mr Clinton was offered the deal on a recent trip to Kenya.


He was offered the animals as a traditional African way of getting a father to give away his daughter's hand in marriage.

The dowry is a very generous one by the country's own standards.

Godwin Kipkemoi Chepkurgor wrote to Mr Clinton through Kenya's Foreign Minister.

He said: "Had I succeeded in wooing Chelsea, I would have had a grand wedding.

"I would have invited South African Anglican Archbishop Desmond Tutu to preside at the ceremony."

The councillor gave the names of the former Kenyan president Daniel Arap-Moi and two of his college mates as character references.

Mr Chepkurgor also said he was also impressed by Mr Clinton's wife, Hillary, for standing by Mr Clinton during the Monica Lewinksy scandal.

He said Mrs Clinton acted like a "like an African woman".

O come on..that is too funny.  I mean she looks like a goat to begin with.

EDIT:  The opinions expressed above are those of the poster and not those of FITES.  Although, I happen to think I am correct.

Man I don't wanna know what the wedding feast would be...giraffe liver or something with a side of elephant trunk?

What about the cake...oh man...triple decker held up by a spear?

 

Arr me father was a tree.

Man, I wouldn't give more than a couple of pigs and a fence post for her. 40 goats and 20 cows is WAY too much! Someone must be desperate...

Not desprate. Smitten lad! This man has had his heart taken away! Ahh love! I can drink to that.    (I'd have to have some beer goggles for that action.)

I don't think beer goggles would be enough, you may have to switch to beer BLINDERS for this one
