    Axes of Evil
    by John Cleese

    Bitter after being snubbed for membership in the "Axis of Evil",
    Libya, China and Syria today announced that 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 Hussien. "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 hand shake. 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 has become a game of
    geopolitical chairs. Cuba, Sudan and Serbia announced that 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 Want 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 axes,
    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.
