Such a shame, such a tragic error of timing.  A small deputation of
neighborly volunteer hands, gone down to earn a little hard currency
for their resource-strapped homeland by finding work as grips and
extras on the set of _Lektionen in Finsterness_,  a-and, gol-lee!
they're a year early!  And while they're innocently milling around,
wondering whether to get back on the bus  or to do a little souvenir
hunting, maybe a nice sateen pillow embroidered "I Left My Frown In
Old K-Town" to bring home to ol' Yet Another Exemplary Leader, why
without warning or provocation comes this pack of afreets in cammy
jog-bras, all retaining water and meaner'n hell...  Make you wish
you'd stood in the factory, helpin' milk them babies.

Where's the next stop on the tour?  Wonsan?
