An unexpectedly deft bit of diplomacy by our esteemed Commander-in-Chief
Robert Gates concludes the daily briefing, closing on a somber note. "Yesterday in Iraq, 3 Czech solders were killed."

"Oh no!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible."

Gates rallies quickly. "We will be shipping the bodies home immediately, of course, and it will hardly cost the tax-payers a thing, now that we've outsourced the morgue detail to the USPS. The only hard part will be informing the families of the deceased."

"Leave it to me," sez the Prez, brightening. "I'll just tell them that the Czechs are in the mail."

2. And the idiot-in-chief will be picking his nose or scratching his balls when he says that.
