MIDEAST CRISIS MARS OTHERWISE ROSY OUTLOOK THROUGHOUT WORLD
Dunkirk, France - (GIN)
- Anger, discouragement and irritation swelled throughout the world as the Mideast Crisis dragged on, marring what many believe is an otherwise rosy time in the history of civilized and uncivilized nations and peoples on Earth.
     "Things are just so great everywhere, it's just a shame they're not great in the Mideast," said Darla Vamp, a typical Earthling from Conestoga Falls, Nebraska.
     The Academy Of Atomic Energy Scientists & Checkers Players moved their famous clock to seventeen hours til midnight, signifying how wonderful everything is.
     "It'd be a whole twenty-four hours til midnight if it wasn't for the Mideast," declared Dr. Nornia Numbersby, executive secretary of the academy. "What gives with those folks?"
     Opposing sides issued a joint telegram with a non-apology apology to the world.
     "Hey, we're dealin' with some heavy baggage here," the telegram read, in part.
     Observers interpreted the fact that the telegram was issued jointly as progress.
     "If they'd've sent separate telegrams, we might have had to move the clock an hour closer to midnight," Numbersby said.
