AYACUCHO BLOCK 6, Venezuela (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who mocked George W. Bush as the devil in a U.N. speech, said on Wednesday he was sending sulfur to Brazil for the U.S. president's visit there next month.

During a tour of an oil reserve with his Argentine counterpart Nestor Kirchner, Chavez held up a small vial of the pale-yellow element and said he would send to their fellow leftist ally and Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

Echoing his mock complaint last year at the U.N. General assembly that the podium reeked of the substance after a Bush speech, Chavez said, "It smells of sulfur here, comrade."

"I am going to send this vial to Lula for when the little gentleman comes so that he can place it out there in Brasilia," Chavez said with a laugh.
