4 aAnd with all those Yank troops just hanging around the 38th parallel,
5 The Yanks as a whole were getting restless,
6 bAnd wondering why MacArthur didn't just drop an A-Bomb or two on the Chinks and the Koreans,
7 cAnd get it all over with,
8 dAnd come home,
9 Just like always,
10 Only it wasn't that simple,
11 Because somehow or other,
12 eThe Russkies had got hold of some A-Bombs of their own,
13 And if the Yanks dropped some,
14 The Russkies might drop some too,
15 fAnd then the fat would be in the fire,
16 gWhich meant that it was time for the hmost decisive president in U.S. history to retire,
17 And get it all over with,
18 iAnd go home,
19 Just like always.
CHAPTER 1371 The new Yank president was named Ike,
2 Which wasn't a Jewish name,
3 Since the Yanks have never had a Jewish president,
4 Because why would they do that,
5 jWhen there are so many WASPs available?
6 In fact, Ike was short for Eisenhower,
7 Who was the same kEisenhower that had conquered Europe in World War II,
8 And had an idea about how to handle the Korean thing,
9 Which was to propose peace talks,

10 lWhile talking a great deal about how much fun it would be to turn North Korea into a radioactive desert,
11 Forever.
12 After the peace talks were successfully concluded,
13 Eisenhower took a nap,
14 For about eight years,
15 mWhile the Yanks went out and made more money than you can shake a pointed stick at.
CHAPTER 1381 In fact, things couldn't have gone any better than they did for the Yanks during nEisenhower's nap.
2 Their industry was booming,
3 oBecause the Yanks knew how to make everything better than anyone else,
4 pIncluding cars that always started and ran forever with no maintenance,
5 qAnd planes that flew higher and faster and safer than anyone ever dreamed possible,
6 rAnd computers, which nobody ever had at all before the Yanks invented them,
7 sAnd television sets, which nobody else in the world could even afford to own,
8 tAnd household appliances like refrigerators, and washing machines, and stoves, and dishwashers, which everybody else in the world would have given their right arm for,
9 uNot to mention machinery of every possible kind and purpose,
10 Which was all the very best and most advanced technology you could find anywhere,
11 Which is why every vYank had a good job,
