LEBANESE CONFIDENCE CANNOT BE SHAKEN!
G.W.BUSH was sitting in his oval office wondering which country to invade next, when his telephone rang.
"Hallo, Mr. Bush" a heavily accented voice said. "This is Abul Abed, down 'ere at Qahwet le?jezz.? I am callin' to tell ya dat we are officially declaring war on you you!"
"Well Archie," G.BUSH replied, "This is indeed important news! How big is your army?"
"Right now," said Abul Abed, after a moments calculation "there is myself, me cousin Maroun, me next-door-neighbor Abou Yussef, and the whole team from the Qahwe. That makes eight!"
BUSH paused. "I must tell you Abul Abed, that I have one million men in my army waiting to move on my command."
"Holy jeez," said Abul Abed. "I'll have ta call ya back!" Sure enough, the next day, Abul Abed called again. "Mr. Bush, the war is still on! We have managed to acquire some infantry equipment!"
"And what equipment would that be Abul Abed?", BUSH asked.
"Well sir, we have two Mercedes 180, and a truck."
BUSH sighed. "I must tell you Abul Abed, that I have 16,000 tanks and 14,000 armoured personnel carriers. Also I've increased my army to one and a half million since we last spoke."
"Ya lateef", said A Abul Abed, "I'll be getting back to ya." Sure enough, Abul Abed rang again the next day. "Mr. B, the war is still on! We have managed to git ourselves airborne! We modified a helicopter wit a couple of shotguns in the cockpit, and four more neighbors have joined us as well!"
BUSH was silent for a minute then cleared his throat. "I must tell you Abul Abed that I have 10,000 bombers and 20,000 fighter planes. My military complex is surrounded by laser-guided, surface-to-air missile sites. And since we last spoke, I've increased my army to TWO MILLION!"
"Lah lah lah lah," said Abul Abed, "I'll have ta call youse back." Sure enough, Abul Abed called again the next day. "Mr. Bush! I am sorry to have to tell you dat we have had to call off dis 'ere war."
"I'm sorry to hear that" said BUSH. "Why the sudden change of heart?"
"Well, sir," said Abul Abed, "we've all sat ourselves down and had a long chat, and come to realize dat dere's no way we can feed two million prisoners."
