If the pen is mightier than the sword why

If the pen is mightier than the sword why are we not sending a packet of biros to Afghanistan? Robert pondered in deep thought about how to win a war with pens. The literal

way would of course envolve a Peace treaty,but how boring would that sound to those martial ears?Robert had to find a way to put some sugar on it and end the war in Afganistan.

That could mean only one thing. Sudden death Beer Pong. Robert contacted his Taliban counterpart. "Let's end this thing, now or never." The two sides picked a neutral area for the

challenge, and prepared. The table was set, the cups were out. Robert and his Taliban friend took their positions, and began the most intense game of beer pong that was ever

played. The balls flew and beer splashed. Beer pong was followed by poker, which later mutated into strip poker. Robert was amazed to find out what the Taliban guy had on under his

tunic: a matching bra and panties from "Adore Me". Robert thought differently about the Taliban guy after that. He also wondered if that combo came in purple. The party raved on,

another 4-1/2 years later and they were has beens and that was if they were even remembered. Gemini dreams were a rare luxury in this war for these ruins of What Might Have Been,

and over in the Dwindling Gardens,one's luck ran darker still. Bleak days turned into abysmal nights only broken by the occasional visit by a terrified and lost soul. Always brief

encounters of the third kind, but painful...excruciatingly so. Next came the eyeball pluckers, the fingernail chalkboardists, & the impotent Marlboro men. It was hell. Sheer hell.
