Argentina asserts rights over Vatican City

[dipsydoodle]

If the Falkland Islands belong to the UK because of the people who live there, the Vatican must now be part of Argentina, according to President Cristina Kirchner.

As the first Argentinian Pope began his day at the leader of the Catholic church, Argentinian officials asked if anyone has looked under St Peters basilica for oil reserves.

Argentinian president Kirchner told reporters, “We have a recent precedent with the Malvinas and the ‘Brits’ who live there, and so I fully expect to see the Vatican handed over to Argentinian authorities within the week.”

“Don’t worry, we have no intention of asset stripping our new land – but I’m sure there’s a few bits and pieces we could sell off for a few million Pesos.”
