Cast: King Zog I, Midhat Frashëri, Fuat Aslam, Benito Mussolini, Mussolini's Conscience
March 26th, 1939
Benito Mussolini sat at his desk in his office. He may or may not have been sitting on a chair, it was hard to tell.
"Wretched Zog, I'll make him pay!" he thought. "But how???"
A miniature Mussolini, dressed in red, appeared on his left shoulder.
"Declare war! Invade his country and take it for your own! He stands no chance!"
Another miniature Mussolini, this one in white, appeared on his right shoulder.
"That's much too harsh. Economic sanctions, if we really must get revenge."
Mussolini eyed the two miniatures in disbelief.
"Eh?" he grunted.
"We're your conscience, stupid!" the miniatures shouted in unison.
"Ah, right," said Mussolini. "Well, sorry, whitey, but I prefer the red guy's plan."
"We must make Zog pay!!!" roared Mussolini.
Meanwhile, in Albania.
"Hmm... What was that?" said Zog.
"It's alright, your insanity, I heard it too," assured Midhat.
"Of course you heard it too! Nitwit," said Zog, annoyed.
"Look who's talking," muttered Midhat under his breath.
Before Zog could say, "WHAT!?" Fuat rushed in.
"Your royal Zogness, we have a problem," panted Fuat. "Look!"
Fuat handed Zog a message and Zog read it aloud.
The Message said:
To whom it may concern,
Hand over your country. Or else.
Signed,
Benito 'Muscles' Mussolini
"Ha!" retorted Zog as he flipped over the message and wrote his reply.
"Make sure 'Muscles' gets this," said Zog as he handed the message to Fuat.
"Right!" said Fuat and he rushed out the door.
Meanwhile, in Italy.
"Zog stew. Zog rinds. Zog loaf. Zog sticks. What?" said Mussolini.
His aide handed him a new message. Mussolini read it.
The New Message said:
Dear Stupid,
Blow it out your rear.
Affectionately,
King Zog I
"Of course you know this means war!!!!" roared Mussolini again.
Back in Albania.
"A new message, sir," Fuat gulped.
Zog read it.
The Last Message said:
You scoundrel!
You, me, outside, now!
Most Disagreeably,
Benito 'Muscles' Mussolini
PS. You can consider this a declaration of war.
Midhat smacked his forehead.
Fuat fainted.
Zog shrugged. "Hmm... I never thought he'd go through with it."
