THE BOOK OF DAMN
YANKEES
OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE BOOK OF MANIFEST DESTINY
The Yanks learn what apocalyptic means
Chapter 122
Even so, the Yanks knew that Europe was still a problem,
2Because it was still bEurope,
3And still pretty full of Krauts and Frogs and Brits,
4Even if there weren’t quite as many as there used to be,
5Not to mention the Russkies,
6Who stuck pretty closely to the plan they’d laid out at Yalta,
7Meaning they weren’t going to give back any territory,
8At all,
9And were planning to own Poland and Czechoslovakia and Romania and Hungary and Albania and a great big chunk of Germany,
10Forever,
11cEven if they had to lose a few million more comrades to defend it.
12By this time, of course, the Yanks had brought most of their combat troops home,
13What with the war having been over for several weeks or so,
14dAnd they didn’t want to fight a big war with the Russkies,
15Because the Russkies hadn’t killed any Yanks yet,
16Which meant there wasn’t anything to remember,
17And nothing to get even for,
18Yet.
19Even so, the Yanks had started to realize that this time wasn’t going to be like last time,
20eMeaning they couldn’t just go home and forget all about Europe for another twenty years,
21Because this time they were fstuck,
22And had to stay involved,
23Because all the Europeans were completely exhausted,
24And pretty much out of ideas about what to do next,
25Which meant the Yanks had to come up with an idea,
26And really kind of think it through this time,
27Since a bad idea would probably cause gWorld War III,
28Which made the Yanks nervous,
29hBecause if there’s one thing Yanks really hate, it’s having to think things through.
