Travistan Dictator Conducts Another Press Conference from Toilet
TRAVAMABAD (DPI) - Polls indicate decreasing popularity of the President and
Dictator-for-Life of the apartment-nation of Travistan after the leader
held another press conference from behind the door of the hall bathroom. The
conference, his third this week, was to discuss the result of the recent
Monday Night Football game over the sports page. "The Raiders really looked
like they were going to pull it out," said a barely audible President
Travis, speaking over the whir of the fan to reporters gathered several
steps down the hall, "but they were only, like, a yard short of scoring when
time ran out." Less interesting than the topic of the announcement was the
format of the delivery. According to the nation's Minister of Domestic
Affairs, the current regime has made numerous unreasonable requests from
behind the quarantined area of the "Presidential Roost," as it's called,
including calling for items to be passed to him from outside the perimeter.
"This constitutes a significant breach of the safety for all people of
Travistan," said Mrs. Travis, straining to reach into the danger zone to
hand the President a toenail clipper. According to the apartment-nation's
budget, current reserves of scented candles are projected to run out within
a matter of a few weeks.
