Iraq for Sale
on: August 29, 2003, 11:43:32 am
Saw this when I was reading some of the tech rumours on the Inquirer.
Quote
From the Inquirer article "Iraq For Sale on Ebay":
SONEONE WHO CLAIMS to own Iraq is claiming to be selling it on Ebay.

The bids have so far reached $1,852, and the vendor "will only accept cash".

He describes himself as needing to sell Iraq because "he has to win an election in 2004, and Iraq is a drag in the opinion polls."

He also "forgot to tell the American people the true cost before invasion and occupation".

The buyer will have to look after and feed 25 million people, with the infrastructure "shot to hell" by the previous owner.

In other news, the Coalition Provisional Authority has announced that Iraq had been divided into three autonomous provinces, named:

Leaded, Unleaded and Diesel.

He's right - none of them are clever and none of them are funny after they've been seen once. It just cloggs up the forum. That's bad. Stop. :hopping:
