I laughed out loud to myself on the subway as I read this. I picked up a copy of the Onion as I
was on my way to work and saw the story at the bottom entitled:
Fritolaysia Cuts of Chiplomatic Relations with Snackistan.
That alone is funny…on so many levels, too. But then you get into the article itself and, well, how can you not bust a
gut:
Relations between the two countries grew stale in 1994, when Fritolaysian rufflelutionaries crossed zestablished
borders and forced Snakistan to dispatch cheesekeeping forces. The late-night SALTY talks held at Snakistan’s Kuler
Ranch, however, cooled the spicy conflict with the signing of the historic Buttermilk Compromise, which established
bilateral chiplomacy and regulated trade flows by setting the international Rold Gold standard of currency.
Thank God for the Onion on these cold, dreary fridays.
