The two-term Republican president from Texas said he had been taking on chores dictated by his wife, Laura, and had discovered the challenges of cleaning up after pets as he walked the family dog, Barney, around their Dallas neighborhood.
"There I was, the former president, with a plastic bag on my hand, picking up that which I had dodged for eight solid years," Bush said to laughs from the 6,000-strong audience.
Bush said he had phoned his mother to tell her about the event and she responded that Clinton had been spending so much time with his father, former President George H.W. Bush, in charity efforts that Clinton was "like my son."
Turning to Clinton, Bush joked, "So brother, it is good to be with you."
For his part, Clinton, a Democrat who was Bush's predecessor in office, said his new challenge was not saying anything that would get his wife, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in trouble.
"No one cares what I say unless I mess up. ... I have to think about what they will ask Hillary and President Obama tomorrow if I mess up," Clinton said.
