President George Bush was in the Oval Office wondering which
country to invade next, when his telephone rang. "Hallo, President Bush" a
heavily accented voice said. "This is Archie, up 'ere at the Harp Seal Pub
in
Badger's Cove, Newfoundland, Canada ey? I am callin' to tells ya dat
we are officially declaring war on ye!"
"Well Archie," George replied, "This is indeed important news!
How big is your army?"
"Right now," said Archie, after a moments calculation "there is
myself, me cousin Harold, me next-door-neighbor Mick, and the whole dart
team from the pub. That makes eight!"
George paused. "I must tell you Archie, that I have one million
men in my army waiting to move on my command."
"Holy jeez," said Archie. "I'll have ta call ya back!" Sure
enough, the next day, Archie called again. "Mr. Bush, the war is still on!
We
have managed to acquire some infantry equipment!"
"And what equipment would that be Archie?", George asked.
"Well sir, we have two combines, a bulldozer, and Harry's farm
tractor."
President Bush sighed. "I must tell you Archie, that I have
16,000 tanks and 14,000 armoured personnel carriers. Also I've increased my
army to one and a half million since we last spoke."
"Lard T'underin' Jaysus, bye", said Archie, I'll be getting back
to ya."
Sure enough, Archie rang again the next day. "President Bush,
the war is still on! We have managed to git ourselves airborne! We up an'
modified Harrigan's ultra-light wit a couple of shotguns in the cockpit,
and
four byes from the Legion have joined us as well!"
George was silent for a minute then cleared his throat. "I must tell
you Archie that I have 10,000 bombers and 20,000 fighter planes. My
military complex is surrounded by laser-guided, surface-to-air missile
sites.
And since we last spoke, I've increased my army to TWO MILLION!"
"Jeysus, Mary and Joseph," said Archie, "I'll have ta call youse
back."
Sure enough, Archie called again the next day. "President Bush! I am
sorry to have to tell you dat we have had to call off dis 'ere war."
"I'm sorry to hear that" said George. "Why the sudden change of
heart?"
"Well, sir," said Archie, "we've all sat ourselves down and had
a long chat over a bunch of pints, and come to realize dat dere's no way we
can feed two million prisoners."
