Yes prime minister - The Icelandic Bank affair continues!

The following episode takes place in Downingstreet 10, London:

Brown:  What´s that strange smell!

Secretary: That is a reconciliatory gift from the icelandic prime minister Mr. Haarde, consisting of fermented shark and an icelandic vodka called Black Death!  The shark is being examined by the forensic department before you can taste it.

Brown:  Are the icelanders trying to increase my indigestion.  What next?

Secretary: The Chinese are getting interested in the Icelandic Bank affair!  The sent a fax asking whether you could sell them some pure refreshing icelandic water supplies.

Brown:  Why are they asking me??? I´m not in charge of the icelandic water supplies?

Secretary:  But the Chinese officials said that they thought that you were in charge of the situation? After all the 300.000 population of Icelanders is almost negligible compared to Chinese standards. In fact the Chinese have offered to accept all Icelanders into one apartment building in Beijing. It might be a bit crowded, but it´s a normal chinese situation. In return they want the icelandic water supplies.

Brown: What about the Americans?

Secretary: The Americans do not want Iceland at all - they have enough problems as it is! Besides they have already leased a part of Iceland to aluminium corporations.

Brown: What about the other Scandinavian countries?

Secretary: The Norwegians are talking a lot about some king called Harold the Fair - Haired and that they do not want the Icelanders back into Norway since they did so much damage there last time. The Norwegians are suggesting we send the icelandic population as a destructive weapon to Afghanistan.

Brown:  Why Afghanistan?

Secretary: Because the icelanders spend and squander all wealth that they encounter and they would quickly destroy all the funding of the Talibans. No funding - no problem. In fact the Icelanders are probably the most financially hazardous people on Earth.

Brown:  What about space?

Secretary: Space, sir?

Brown:  The Americans have been planning sending people to Mars for decades, - why can´t they just plant the Icelanders there?  The Icelanders could have the whole Red Planet to themselves!

Secretary: Are you serious, sir? Do you want me to contact NASA?

Brown: Oh, I don´t know.  This smell makes me sick! Report back to me in the morning!

Secretary: Very well sir.

Takk fyrir þessa frábæru sögu

Þetta gæti verið handrit að sérstökum aukaþætti Yes, prime minister. Verst að Nigel Hawthorne er dáinn, en sjálfsagt hægt að finna einhvern í hans stað sem ráðuneytisstjóra.

frábært, verst að þetta er svo nálægt raunástandinu
