Web posted at: 2:25 a.m. EST (0725 GMT)

NEW YORK -- Following are two 'top 10' lists presented on Dave Letterman's Late Show on Wednesday, when first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton was a guest.

Hillary Clinton's top 10 reasons why I finally decided to appear on the show:

10. I lost a bet with Tipper.
9. I thought this was a show where you answer a couple of easy questions and win a million dollars.
8. If Dan Quayle did it, how hard could it be?
7. I was already in town to interview for the Jets' head coach position.
6. Four words: Severe lapse in judgment.
5. I needed an excuse to get out of dinner with Donald Trump.
4. When they threw in a "Late Show" tote bag, I said, "Gas up the Taurus, Bill, we're going to Dave's."
3. I haven't been in the Ed Sullivan Theater since I was dating Ringo.
2. To tell you the truth, I though Johnny hosted this show.
1. If I can make it here, I can make it anywhere.

Dave Letterman's top 10 questions dumb guys would ask the first lady:

10. So, have you actually, like, met the president?
9. Did you ever rebuild your house after it got blown up in "Independence Day?"
8. What's your stance on that guy in that country doing that stuff?
7. How about a federal law making shoes easier to tie?
6.Aren't monkeys funny -- especially when they're smoking and dressed like people?
5. Do you have one of them robot maids like in "The Jetsons?"
4. This is the White House, right? Well gimme some square hamburgers.
3. Is it wrong for the president to appoint his own wife first lady?
2. If elected senator, would you please, please, please bring the strip clubs back to New York City?
1. Have you ever met my dad, George Bush?
