 ...well
I went to my congressman and he said quote, "I'd like to help you son but
you're too young to vote," sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do, cause
there ain't no cure for the summertime blues... duh duh duh dum, duh duh da
dum, duh duh duh dum.... |
 Good
morning, Irbahim. It would seem as though this delightful weather has put
you in high spirits. |
|
High
spirits indeed, Nouri. I have been planning my summer vacation, and you
would not believe the price I just got on Travelocity for the Cairo Hilton!
All praise to William Shatner! |
|
Shatner?
I thought he worked for Priceline... |
|
Maybe
it was some other white American fool, I can't really be sure. But listen to this. I
get deluxe lodging and travel accommodations for the same price as if... |
|
Nouri,
is it possible that you have yet to hear? The American congress doesn't want
us to take a
summer vacation this year. They say we have too much work left to do. |
 I
hope I didn't just hear what I thought I heard... |
|
I'm
afraid you did, Hajim. The Americans don't only wish for Parliament to
cancel our two month summer break, they don't want us to take any vacation
at all. |
|
The
meddling pigs, I could just eat them were they not made out of pork.
Perchance their newfound zeal to see us toil through the hot summer month is
a result of the election of those Democrats that George Bush warned so
strongly against. |
 Damn
those Democrats and their politically driven agenda. I know that the
Republicans surely would not appreciate the sight of Iraq's freedom fighters
forced into slavery beneath the sweltering August sun. |
|
I
regret to say that our vacation is a topic of unforeseen unity between those
two warring parties. They seem to have nothing better to do with their time
than to meddle with our job benefits. |
|
They
are worse than pigs. They are... um, give me a minute... they are...
super-double pigs. |
|
Tell
me, my brothers, can a man truly be said to be free when he is denied his
two months of vacation time? I swear to you, he is not. The Americans are
not the boss of me! |
|
Nor
of me! Since when have the Americans been able to tell us what to do? |
|
What's
the date, Hajim, May 4th? Since about four years, one month, and fifteen
days ago. |
|
Oh,
yeah... |
|
Do
you think they'd mind if we just took six weeks? |
