Nice Germans ready for their own country

President Warren G. Harding has ordered all remaining American soldiers in Germany home.

The president justified the order, citing increasing resentment from German civilians of the occupation force.

In a man-on-the-street interview, we spoke with a dapper young man: Adolf Hitler.

“The United States can go home,” said Herr Hitler, a really nice guy with a swell little mustache. “We’re not planning anything, and certainly not a massive government overthrow, military buildup or extermination of our Jews. Where would you get those ideas?”

We responded: “What are you talking about?”

I hear nothing,” Hitler said.

From the SeriouslyGuys Vault: July 17

It has come to this blog’s attention that many of you dear, misinformed readers believe we’ve been at the news game for 5 months. In truth, we have always been THE source for the inane, bizzare, and typographically-erroneous since the early days of papyrus and clay tablets. Heck, we’re tougher and farther-reaching than Opus Dei, the Knights Templar, and Red Cross combined.

To remedy this grievous misconception, we present a new feature: From the SeriouslyGuys Vault.

Attention Germans

We decoded this message on our original 1890 Ouija board:

“Deutchlund, rejoice! The Beachjogger is born, who shall arrive in spoken chariot to redeem your culture from the dark days of world war and division.”

It’s good to be the president?

Paula Jones accused President Bill Clinton of sexual harrassment and defamation of character. The former Arkansas state clerk is suing for $700,000.

We briefly spoke with President Clinton:

SG: Mr. President, did you have sex with Ms. Jones?
BC: No. I did not have sexual relations with that woman.
SG: Whew–we believe you. Man, was she a dog.
BC: I don’t know, she kinda reminded me of Fran Drescher.
SG: Does Ms. Jones sound like her?

This tlog (TV log) is fairly sure that even if President Clinton nailed Paula Jones, he’s learned his lesson and will never abuse his power again … or at least use it to abuse something that’s housebroken.

McDonald’s heralds end of ‘Red Empire’

McDonald’s has struck a deathblow for capitalism in the very heart of Soviet Russia, much more a deathblow than Rocky Balboa’s defeat of Captain Ivan Drago.

The fastfood chain opened its first franchise in Moscow. Inexplicably, the Soviet proles are lining up and spending an alleged “several days’ wages for Big Macs, shakes, and french fries.” This tlog guesses that Quarter Pounders are somewhat tastier than gruel and hardened bread. (Guess what the special sauce is there.)

The Guys predict the USSR will be done for in one year. Remember, you read it here first.

DC crack receives Mayor Barry’s stamp of approval

If you haven’t tried crack in DC yet because you’re afraid it might be bad for you, Mayor Marion Barry has demonstrated that it’s safe.

Barry took one for the team with his arrest today after he was caught smoking crack with Rasheeda Moore. Ms. Moore allegedly set Barry up in exchange for leniency in her own crack-related criminal charges.

“The bitch set me up! The bitch set me up!”
