  • Secret Service

    “Dominos Pizza Service, how can I help?”

    “Yeah, hello, do you have any war plans?”

    “I’m sorry sir, we don’t have any war plans on the menu.”

    “Then they need to be on the menu. You gotta get used to the idea of – yeah, bourbon, please… large, thanks – yeah, the idea of war plans. We’ll get these war plans rolling and then it’ll be margarita time!”

    “One Margherita. Do you want coke with that?”

    “Obviously. I tell you, if you haven’t got your own war plans – another bourbon, yes, that’s lovely – I got some war plans of my own that I made myself. Those Pentagon plans, that’s for those goddamn pathetic Europeans. They just freeload off of us – if it looks like it’s going down, just top it up, cheers – like they’re on vacation in Hawaii.”

    “One Hawaii. With extra pineapples?”

    “As many as possible. Yeah, where are they then? Anybody seen the war plans? Don’t tell me I left them on the S-Bahn, I was sure I had them when I got off. What’s that James? You got a copy on Google Drive? Email it to me, but remember what happened last time – what, empty? there’s a bottle of Drambuie in the cabinet, I think there’s some left in that – got them, great. War plans, now listen. You remember what happened to Hallo Pizza, you don’t want that to happen to you …”

  • Rewarding the great leader

    I’ve been rather negative in my opinions of the 47th POTUS. However, some people are very happy to see him in power and they are already queuing up to shower him with awards and recognition.

    New York Representative Claudia Tenney has introduced a new bill to declare 14th July – Corleone’s birthday – to be a national holiday. And why not? She is arguably correct to say that “no modern president has been more pivotal for our country”, but even so I think it’s a bit far to describe him as “the founder of America’s Golden Age”.

    They want his image on a new $250 bill as well. Good idea. This will make it easier for the 51st state to accept their new ruler. They already have the King on their banknotes.

    Renaming Dulles airport also makes a lot of sense. The USAians currently have a grievance against Europeans for not doing more to keep the Suez Canal/ Red Sea searoute running. What better than to punish the memory of the man who was responsible for this policy back in 1956?

    The literal crown has to be Mount Rushmore. Congresswoman Luna wants to carve the fifth face as a permanent record to his “bold leadership and steadfast dedication to America’s greatness”. Marvellous.

    There were bootlickers in the East German Volkskammer as well. But even they waited until the boss was dead, or at least out of office, first.
