The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for September 22, 2011

Is this a foretaste of things to come?

So the whole war thing wouldn’t have started if both sides hadn’t arrived bearing arms.

I’ve always thought that perhaps the greatest asset for a world leader is a totally disarming smile.

I’ve never seen a bear with bare arms.

Tell him when the photographer is taking a FORMAL picture of all of us, not to put his hand up and ‘wave’ and totally block my face!!!!

I thought all bears had bear arms….errr legs.

I’m sure there were a few other words the translator is keeping to herself.

Can’t we just all get along?

There’s another reason to deny the Palestinian petition for membership; adding another seat could require reconfiguring the chairs to airliner density, which would lead inevitably to this kind of situation. Plus you would have translators scooting down emergency chutes shouting obscenities.What we need instead is national mergers. There’s only so much room in that General Assembly hall, after all.

So, I do this thing called Model UN, which is where students come together and roleplay the UN. After we passed a resolution on child soldiers and SALW (small arms and light weapons) I got up to give a speech and said “Congratulations, fellow delegates. Thanks to our efforts, small arms will never again bear light weapons.”

Sounds like a job for Armresty International!

WAR We are right

I had an translator who didn’t know i could read and write(vietnamise),and after 6mos. I got so POd that I Told him off in vietnamise. When he returned 6wks later things where much better,at least foe me.

Perfect for my Model United Nations class!
