HULLHORST, GERMANY – In an early evening raid U.S. Navy SEALs inserted via drainage ditches and “Rain-for-Rent” tanker trucks conducting an assault on the main Wurlitzer showroom in Hüllhorst, Germany. Resistance was light and the SEALs sustained no casualties. Wurlitzer sales manager, Wolfgang Schlanghaber and several other employees were immediately taken hostage.
The President went on to say “Radical Wurlitzers don’t represent the entire Wurlitzer faith, but we will take the fight to them where ever they might be, we will make it clear NO Radical Wurlitzer is safe. – No how; No way; No place” – then he did the hokey-pokey and he shook it all around.
In an effort to mitigate the fog of confusion emanating from the White House – The Dept. of Defense spokesman and former Astronaut, Jose Jimenez announced that in an unprecedented act of frustration, a rogue SEAL team took matters into their own flippers.
Using stealth and cunning, SEALs dressed as schnitzel delivery personnel giving them easy access to the Wurlitzer lobby, showroom and sales office. Being a public showroom, just about any attire would have given them easy access to the Wurlitzer lobby, showroom and sales office. When asked about the administration’s initial response Pres. Obama shook his head and mumbled – “What makes you think anyone tells me anything?”
The SEALs scribbled their demands on a sheet of copier paper and stapled it to a hostage before throwing her from the ground floor window.
An expert in primitive languages was enlisted to decipher what appeared to be an encoded message. He finally gave up and made a SWAG at what the SEALs actually wanted.
Anthony Doerr, the 2015 Pulitzer Prize for fiction winner, offered to give his Pulitzer to the SEALs saying that “SEALs are much better at writing fiction then I’ll ever be.” Unfortunately, one of the SEALs noticed the award was a “Pulitzer” and accused Mr. Doerr of trying to pull the seaweed over their eyes.
Doerr’s attempt to correct the misunderstanding regarding the “Pulitzer Prize” vs “Wurlitzer Juke Box” was met with a chorus of barking sounds and rhythm-less claps. Two more hostages were summarily thrown from ground floor windows with the promise that SEALs would throw one hostage from the window every 30 mins until their demands were met.
Not wanting to risk the welfare of the remaining hostages, Incident commander Grenzschutz Captain Sepp Staffler, was left no other choice but to wait 90-mins until the SEALs ran out of hostages to throw out the window.
The crisis appeared to be at an impasse’ until Arlene in the J1, put down her Merlot and tweeted a solution that would avert certain disaster.
In exact accordance with Arlene’s instructions, the 5150th Civil Affairs detachment made a leaflet drop containing small shiny objects, crude porno and business cards from literary agents. Entering the facility, U.S. diplomatic authorities dodged flying copies of crude manuscripts and managed to take custody of the confused SEALs. They were whisked into diplomatic vehicles and out of the public eye.
Shortly after the first hostage was thrown out the window Juke Box sales manager Joachim Vogelsingt was able to affect escape by simply wandering off. He provided inestimable information leading to the identification of all 7 members of the assault team.
The number 7 proved to be the key to identification. It is the exact number of SEALs who haven’t yet published a riveting account of their deeds. It became a simple matter of elimination. All seven have been reclassified as Yeomen.
