Axe of evil

>ANGERED BY SNUBBING, LIBYA, CHINA SYRIA FORM AXIS OF JUST AS EVIL

>Bitter after being snubbed for membership in the “Axis of Evil,” Libya,
>China, and Syria today announced 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. They are Just as Evil…in their
>dreams!” declared North Korean leader Kim Jong-il. “Everybody knows we’re
>the best evils… best at being evil…we’re the best.”
>
>Diplomats from Syria denied they were jealous over being excluded, although
>they conceded they did ask 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
>became a game of geopolitical chairs.
>
>Cuba, Sudan, and Serbia said 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 Be
>Allowed to Ask 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 asked them.
