Axis of Evil Wannabees
by John Cleese


Bitter after being snubbed for membership in the "Axis of Evil", Libya, China and Syria today announced that they had formed the "Axis of Just as
Evil", which they said would be "more evil than that stupid Iran-Iraq-North Korea axis" President Bush warned of in his State of the Union address.

Axis of Evil members, however, immediately dismissed the new Axis as having, "for starters, a really dumb name". "Right. As if they are just as
evil ... in their dreams!" declared North Korean leader Kim Jong-il.
"Everybody knows we're the best evils? eh evilest? that we're the best."

Diplomats from Syria denied they were jealous over being excluded, although they conceded they had asked if they could join the Axis of Evil. "They told us it was full," said Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

"An axis can't have more than three countries", explained Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. "This is not my rule, it's tradition. In World War II you had Germany, Italy, and Japan in the evil Axis. So, you can only have three. And a secret handshake. Ours is wickedly cool."

International reaction to Bush's Axis of Evil declaration was swift, as within minutes, France surrendered. Elsewhere, peer-conscious nations
rushed to gain triumvirate status in what has become a game of geopolitical chairs.

Cuba, Sudan and Serbia announced that they had formed the "Axis of Somewhat Evil", forcing Somalia to join with Uganda and Myanmar in the "Axis of
Occasionally Evil", while Bulgaria, Indonesia and Russia established the "Axis of Not So Much Evil Really as Just Generally Disagreeable".

With the criteria suddenly expanded and all the desirable clubs filling up, Sierra Leone, El Salvador, and Rwanda applied to be called the "Axis of
Countries That Aren't the Worst But Certainly Won't Be Asked to Host the Olympics".

Canada, Mexico and Australia formed the "Axis of Nations That Are Actually Quite Nice But Secretly Have Some Nasty Thoughts About America", while
Scotland, New Zealand and Spain established the "Axis of Countries That Want Sheep to Wear Lipstick". "That's not a threat, really, just something
we like to do", said Scottish Executive First Minister Jack McConnell.

While wondering if the other nations of the world weren't perhaps making fun of him, a cautious Bush granted approval for most axis, although he
rejected the establishment of the "Axis of Countries Whose Names End in 'Guay", accusing one of its members of filing a false application. Officials from Paraguay, Uruguay, and Chadguay denied the charges.

Israel, meanwhile, insisted it didn't want to join any Axis, but privately world leaders said that's only because no one has asked them.

If you knew this was posted before, then why did you do it again? If you wanted people to see it, you could have just posted a link to the old thread, or even brought it back to the top by bumping it.

John Cleese is one of the funniest men alive......

I'm giving my age away here, as I was in High School in the late 70's. In Cleese's early days he did a bunch of educational video's, like "how to prepair for a job interview" I'd seen an early Monty Python movie, and recognised him from that... and was laughing my head off! Teacher wanted to know what the joke was - and I explained that that was John Cleese. He made us sit until the credits rolled to see if I was right...

It's the year of the Pig.

I used to work for IBM (until they sold us). We regularly would use those videos for classes. The most commonly-shown one was "Meetings, Bloody Meetings." They're absolutely wonderful, and really get their point across.

Thanks for reminding me of them.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

I ahve never seen those videos, but would probably just laugh through them all, can not imagine John Cleese saying something serious and instructional on a video

My Dad works in the Hospitality business and he actually used Faulty Towers videos for training.......
