WYNNUM (A.A.P.).—In a communique issued today, Mr. G. Bolitho
reported that the recent disturbances in the Democratic Dictatorship of Twelvebee
were “little more than gastric disorders due to an influx of stale pies from our
most popular neighbour, the Free State of Tuckshop.” The Twelvebee Minister
for Health and Hygiene. Mr. E. Baumanis, also stated that “these pies will
have to go”.
These, of course, may well be the underlying reasons behind the growing
disturbances in Twelvebee. However, any observer with any knowledge of the
hardy race who live in Twelvebee will already have realised that it takes more
than a stale pie to upset the equilibrium of these people. After all, one must
remember that these people have been through four years of extreme hardship
to reach the position of affluence that they now enjoy.
