Shalampax to Sign NPT
Prime Minister Manexposinghimself today announced proudly and with great fanfare that Shalampax will finally sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). In doing so, we will join the vast majority of the nations of the world, including the original “nuclear five” of the United States, Russia, Britain, France and China.
Manexposinghimself made a point of telling his internal and international audiences that he firmly committed himself to this decision despite being totally baffled as to why the treaty is most often abbreviated as NPT rather than NN-PT. He considered this to be a major impediment to Shalampax’s signing of the treaty, but he said that it was an hurdle that he was willing to overcome if it would help to create a better world.
Despite expressing strong support, the prime minister did put two conditions on his decision. He said he would sign the NPT only if:
- Someone gave him a copy of treaty, and
- Someone loaned him a pen.
Manexposinghimself’s decision to sign the treaty was made easier with the knowledge that:
- No one in Shalampax has any idea how to make a firecracker, let alone a nuclear reactor or weapon, and
- The land mass of Shalampax is so small that, if we ever did fire off a missile, nuclear-armed or otherwise, the fiery exhaust would incinerate everyone in Shalampax.
