170 Swiss soldiers on maneuvers, accidentally invaded Lichtenstein, a nation that's a little smaller than Washington, D.C., with a population of 34,000. Fortunately for them, Lichtenstein has no army.
Swiss Army spokesman Daniel Reist said "We've spoken to the authorities in Liechtenstein and it's not a problem."
Yeah, sure. Just wait-- Lichtenstein is going to make a strategic alliance with the the Duchy of Grand Fenwick and open up a can of whup-ass on Switzerland; if the Duchy can whip the United States' butt, Switzerland's a cinch.
I had the exact same thought on Grand Fenwick. I may have to re-read that.
ReplyDeleteMen never stop and ask for directions.
ReplyDeleteThe Swiss had assault rifles, but no ammunition. They also had a nail file, a corkscrew, a can opener, two tiny screwdrivers...
ReplyDeleteWait, really? This is real? Seriously? Did they end up with a huge megabomb?

That's why Moses was lost in the desert so long-- he wouldn't stop and ask for directions.

This was real, except I don't think that the Lichtenstinians ended up with the football-shaped megabomb.
