North Korean regime threatens South Korea with toilet paper!

North Korea Expelled from Axis of Evil
PYONGYANG, North Korea
April 14, 2012

Just hours after an embarrassing launch of a rocket that crashed to the ground in a little over a minute, North Korea suffered another blow to its prestige as it was expelled from the Axis of Evil.

For a rogue nation that prides itself on threatening the world community, membership in the Axis of Evil is considered essential, which makes North Korea’s expulsion from the group a particularly damaging setback.

“The rocket thing is hurting our credibility, evil-wise, no question about it,” one aide to North Korean President Kim Jong-un said today. “This afternoon we tried to threaten Japan and it went straight to voicemail.”

In a possible sign of newly reduced ambitions, North Korea today hurled a roll of toilet paper over the border at South Korea.

Project Vanguard, launched by the Great Satan in 1957, got only four feet off the launch pad.

Needless to say, we were never even considered for membership in the prestigious Axis of Evil.

The second Vanguard rocket attempt was successful. It got a 20 pound satellite into orbit that just sent out a beeping signal.

My keyboard must have malfunctioned.

Unlike us, the North Koreans didn't have Nazi engineers to guide their space program.

Maybe we didn't make it into the Axis of Evil, but at least we were dubbed the Great Satan. That isn't bad as a consolation prize.

Wake me when one of them actually gets far enough to actually cross their own border.
