Those Wascally Egyptians

Always morally upstanding, Egypt’s Prime Minister says his nation would never go to war with Israel.
Well, not unless someone else picks up the tab. That’s right, for a mere hundred billion bucks, you, too, can rent out the entire Eqyptian Army.
I wonder how certain fools will try to finesse this story?
“Buy two, get one free
“For an extra billion, we’ll throw in our entire haram of lovely mistresses
“All army rentals require an extra deposit, preferably on a major credit card, in case of damage
“Limit three wars per customer
*This offere does not include wars against the United States of America – We’re not that stupid.
Wow, can I rent the Egyptian Army? I was just thinking of renting a washer-dryer set. But this sounds like more fun.
Andrea: We can rent it together. Send it rampaging against all those who don’t like Olde Hagges or Olde Crones.
Plus we can make them (far more important) do our laundry…
Does anyone really think that even owning all of Egypt is worth $100 billion dollars? Heck, give me that much money, and I’ll find a way to destroy Israel.
You know, the idea of an all-out U.S. against the Arab world “Clash of Civilizations” is sounding less and less like a bad idea.
Oh, I don’t know — I’ve always liked the pyramids.
The last time the Egyptian Army was rented out, it was to get slaughtered by the Israelis… when Cecil B. DeMille shot “The Ten Commandments” in 1956. The Egyptian Army played… The Egyptian Army, and dutifully rode to their deaths in the Red Sea.
As for taking on the whole Middle East… I’d move to do it piecemeal, with each nation thinking they’re the lucky ones that fooled us… then WHAMMO!
Bill Gates will probably surpass the $100 billion mark at some point. If he gets to $101 billion, he can put aside $1 billion for retirement (would that be enough?), take over the Egyptian military and dump it into the Meditteranean Sea. I’ll provide the drinks for the party.
Did the Prime Minister gnaw on his little finger while saying that?
