Happy Meal

Apparently last month's little business with the leader of the free world and the two toy aeroplanes was even more edifying than previously suspected. Rather than risk being targeted by Iranian assassins and their irrational Islamic grudges, the rabid radioactive head-tribble and its official bright orange transportation module were surreptitiously wheeled onto a third aircraft in a catering vehicle. Dignified comparisons with the late Supreme Leader of the mad mullahs during the opening sneak attack of the Persian Crusade will naturally be drawn by nobody, least of all in the free world; yet still we may hope that some of the old jokes about the quality of airline food might acquire a certain extra zest.
