Another Patent

Our local morning radio station host, Robert Boom-Boom Baskings, on WOOF-FM has received a patent for a dual purpose tennis racquet and snowshoe. These very practical items will be available by next winter's snows. They are fully interchangeable for either right or left feet or hands.
Various add-ons are available to make this ingenious invention function as crutches, oars, bellows, TV and radio antennas, and semaphore flags.

AMERICAN APOLOGY TO THE CHINESE

Dear China,

We're sorry that you don't train your fighter pilots better. As a token of our concern, here is a copy of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2000.
We're sorry that your front-line fighter planes can't outmaneuver a 35 year old, unarmed, fixed wing, prop-driven heavy airliner on auto-pilot.
Perhaps you'd like to consider purchasing some surplus 1950's era Lockheed Starfighters from Taiwan. (We just replaced theirs with shiny new F-16's)
We're sorry that you believe your territorial waters extend all the way to Australia. For future reference, here is an American 6th grade geography textbook. (Please take note of the Copyright information printed inside the cover.)
We're sorry that you can't seem to see your part of this incident. We know that it may seem easier to blame others than to take responsibility. Consider this fact while we build several new Aegis destroyers for our friends in the Republic of China (Taiwan).
We're especially sorry for treating you with such respect for the last 8 years. We will definitely rethink this policy and probably go back to treating you like a common, untrustworthy street gang vermin very soon.
We're very sorry for ever granting you Most-Favored-Nation trading status and supporting your entrance into the World Trade Organization. Please rest assured that this will be rectified at the earliest possible opportunity.

Sincerely,

The People of the United States of America

PS... We're tired of rice and faulty products!
