Sanaa -- Shepherds found yesterday the mutilated bodies of two German nurses and a South Korean teacher who were kidnapped while picnicking in an area of Yemen known as a hideout for al-Qaeda.
The dead women disappeared in the remote Northern province of Sanaa while on an outing with six other foreigners, including a German doctor, his wife and their three young children. The whereabouts of the six were unknown, the Yemeni government said.
Dialogue:
"Gee, meine kleine liebe mädchen, where do you think we should go on vacation this year? Klub Med?"
"Ohh, nein, not Klub Med AGAIN! How's about a desert country rife with insurgents? Hey, I know, how about Yemen?"
"Oh, darling, you always have such good ideas. Ich liebe dich so much! D'you think we'll actually be able to meet real insurgents? You know, those goofy Jihadis?"
"Oh, liebling, of course! We'll meet the whole group, and der Kinder will absolutely LOVE picnicking in the barren, windswept Yemeni desert!"
"Ich bin signed up! Let's book it on Expedia.com!"
"Oh, nein, Travelocity's much cheaper! Oder there's Priceline too -- William Shatner die ads gemacht!!"
We'd actually like to visit Yemen sometime, but not now, and definitely not al-Qaeda territory!
ReplyDeleteShould have stuck with Klub Med. Scheiss!
Oh, I'm sure it's going to bristle with luxury hotels and an international airport soon, so no need to worry, take your time.
ReplyDeleteI predict, oh, maybe in 2090 or so.
