Some humor for your Wednesday night

From http://theconversation.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/03/03/let-them-eat-a-little-bit-of-cake/ and

Also, great snippet from http://blog.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2009/03/03/cyprus_peace_deal_sets_off_asparagus_fight:
The story reminds me a bit of a funny anecdote from my colleague Tom Ricks' excellent new book The Gamble, which I am working my way through right now: An American officer asks an Iraqi sheikh why he keeps smuggling sheep into Iraq from Syria. The sheikh replies, "Why did they put the Syrian border in the middle of my sheep?"
