Golden Fleece Award – Issue 82
Thursday, January 22, 2015
A Grateful State Department Thanks You for Your Contribution!
This week’s Golden Fleece Award, with a wagon full of horse pucky, goes to The State Dept., which is blowing $450,000 of your earnings to teach Afghan women to play cricket with players from Pakistan and India.
Let’s see – Pakistan and India have fought four wars since 1947 and are currently in a fragile ceasefire. Most Afghanis seem to hate anyone from a different tribe or country.
Yeah! That’s the ticket – Let’s put ‘em all together and give them wooden bats. Our advice? Put the Bomb Squad on the sidelines!
Oh, and we were kidding – the State Dept. did not thank you.
