U.S. Envoy Finds Indian ‘WMD' Too Hot to Handle

[Guest guest]

I'm too tired to contribute anything of substance just now, but I

heard this odd bit on the radio earlier today, and thought some of

you might get a laugh:

 

NEW DELHI (AFP) - US Ambassador to India Robert Blackwill ended his

stormy two-year tenure in New Delhi Tuesday with the candid admission

that a regional strain of Indian pepper was too hot for him to handle.

 

In his final speech to local business captains, he tagged a unique

label to chillies that lace the cuisine of India's southern Andhra

Pradesh state, in an opaque reference to the hunt for weapons of mass

destruction in Iraq.

 

"Andhra Pradesh with its path-breaking e-governance, and food hotter

than hot. Don't let anyone tell you differently; those Andhra peppers

are without doubt weapons of mass destruction!" Blackwill said in his

stirring address.
