Sit-Rep #7
My good buddy Tooth phoned tonight from a secret location in the Middle East. I'll give you a hint he's in a country where you're allowed to drink beer but not allowed to throw acid in your daughter's face. He's been working in Afghanistan as a carpenter and will soon be back here in Canada!
On the phone he tells me that they won and I said 'What did you win? Is there a prize?' and he laughed. He said that's pretty much how they found out about the victory. Someone from our government showed up (I'm guessing the defence minister...) and tried giving some kind of historical speech for the ages and just came right out and said 'We won!...'
Tooth said 'Fuck I was expecting a ticker tape parade or something...'
Thirty minutes before he showed up the base was getting shelled.
Unanswered Questions:
Shouldn't the defence minister have said 'YOU won' rather than 'WE won'?
Can we prevent some confusion in the future by starting to call this war 'Afghanistan War #1'?
Will a conservative MP actually come out and exclaim 'See? I TOLD you they'd be back by Christmas!'?
Can we turn the air raid sirens off now? My ears are starting to bleed.
