“Mr. Bush, please don’t bomb Apatzingan”. That essentially was the plea made by the mayor of a small Mexican town who evidently misheard Afghanistan as “Apatzingan”.
“Mr President Bush, I swear by what I hold dearest, which is my political carreer, that Apatzingan never had any active or moral role in the bloody events at the twin towers and the Pentagon,” Mayor Jorge Luis Castaneda said in a letter to the US leader.
The government-run Notimex news agency said Castaneda had already sent off the letter before aides told him Afghanistan, not Apatzingan was the likely target of US retaliatory strikes. “Well, I did send it off, just in case,” Castaneda said.
No I haven’t posted wrong. I think this deserves the Joke Section. Doesn’t it?!
