At the United Nations Conference on Poultry in Pecking, China, several accords were discussed, including a complicated capon-trade system. But as the cluck was winding down on the agreement, many nations cried fowl, arguing that capon-trade would only lead to more hen-some profits for agribusinesses, and real progress would be nothing but chicken feed. In order to lay down their yolks, developing nations staged a coop! Their leader made a speech, saying “When all people, white and dark, meat, there is hope.” This democratic gesture inspired everyone, even nations whose broil kings were in attendance. But the cynical members of the global press downplayed the developments, just drank a lot of Wild Turkey and got totally basted. #classicpun-011026
Great Britain refused to send a delegate to this conference so you won’t catch a Tory there. One Scandinavian nation did plan to send a delegate to Pecking, but Sweeden soured, ducked out because the bill was going to be too large. I think they’re going to attend on-line, which would truly be a webbed feat.
