CLEVER MONKEY OF THE WEEK

Donald Rumsfeld has announced that, after an extensive study of military preparedness, he has been able to determine that the American armed forces are apparently armed.

He also announced that, despite numerous base closings, we still have soldiers. 

While living accommodations are now in short supply, he is confident that the difficulty can be overcome by issuing more tents and providing military families with special training in sleeping under the stars.

In a press conference, he quipped with reporters, “I remember sleeping out at camp when I was a child.  It remains one of the most enjoyable episodes of my childhood.  But I have considered the housing shortage carefully and, to express my sympathy with those in the military who are doing without the comforts usually provided by the availability of barracks, I intend to have a tent installed in my own living room.”

The space he has allocated, which is in front of the fireplace, is currently being measured by his wife to determine the appropriate size of his home-based tent.
