So. Iraq is going to
So. Iraq is going to allow the unconditional return of UN inspection teams. I'm sure it will go well.
Harried UN Weapons Inspector: What's this piece of equipment over here?
Smiling, Slightly Doughy Midlevel Iraqi Officer: That is an espresso machine.
Inspector: Really? Because it looks just like a centrifuge used for reprocessing uranium into low-grade weapons material.
Officer: It is, most assuredly, an espresso machine. Would you like a cup?
Inspector: Uh, no thanks. What happened to the rows of filing cabinets that were over there yesterday?
Officer: The documents were removed for cleaning.
Inspector: Cleaning?
Officer: Yes, most certainly. The espresso machine produces a great deal of dust. Are you sure that you would not like a cup? We even have lemon peel.
Inspector: Thank you, no.
Officer: Then let us move on to the clean room, where we bathe our many sheep.
And so forth.
