TEHRAN – Last week, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the new president of Iran, declared that Israel is a “disgraceful blot” that should be “wiped off the map.”
"It was all a big joke," he said in a written statement issued today by The Council of Guardians. "I really was talking about an ink blot. It happened like this: I was speaking at my new ‘A World Without Tourism’ conference, and I was using of those neat gel pens, and it stopped working. The companies that make these things send them to me all the time, but they’re crap! Man, I was so mad I wacked it a few times on the wall to get it working, and guess what? – oopsies–Inky-poo all over."
Cooperation Minister Mohammad O’Holahan, speaking on the topic of finding your
inner Lord-of-the-Dance, noticed the blot on Israel and then, according to Mr. Ahmadinejad, “we both started going back and forth with, you know, Muslim humor stuff. He’s does great standup and impression, you should see his Jim Carey - ’schmokin.’ Pretty soon we came up with the ‘wiping Israel off the map’ bit. It really was for the students because they love it when their leaders can, you know, get down."
"Anyway, to Israel," said the President: "lighten up and just chill. Sometimes you really bum me out."
