“Pizza Delivery” not “Missile Delivery”
Galactic North West; Wombat News
In an incredible turn of events, Howard Sandoval, who was accused by the intergalactic community of being a terrorist and a "missile delivery commander", will be released from jail today and most charges will be dropped due to a translation error in documents found in a terrorist camp in Skeelzania. (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=378734)
“We found these documents in Skeelzania and we had them translated by our expert in-house translators," stated Flo Hummer, a galactic do-gooder. "Well, there is this phrase in Fedral Unionese, 'moron missil makar', which, depending on the context, can mean 'missile delivery commander' or 'pizza delivery boy'. It's one of those quirky language things. You know, like the words 'to' or 'two' or 'too' in English. Depends on the context when you hear it. Anyhow. We found his name with that phrase next to it in an address book of a known lunatic – Dr. Angst. As it turns out, he was their pizza delivery boy. When they got hungry at night, he would bring pizzas to them. Not missiles. It's an easy mistake to make."
The galactic busybody community realised the error in translation after they read the name 'Howard Sondoval' and remembered that they once had pizza delivered to them by him.
“Yeah. It was so weird," stated one galactic nosy parker, who wished to remain anonymous. "We were looking at the lack of intelligence and saw this guy's name. Then I looked up his history. He came out of nowhere a year ago and appeared in a local pizza parlour. Well, then I started thinking that the name sounded familiar. I called up the place where we ordered our pizza from last night and bam! He was working there. I really feel bad for the guy. I mean, his entire family stopped talking to him because they thought he was an intergalactic nutcase OMG!!! RAWR!!! missileer.”
Howard Sandoval has nonetheless been charged with plotting to assist in the delivery of terrorist pizzas in the galactic North West to be rammed into the face of a Sketchian diplomat, although several commentators have suggested he should instead receive the galaxy’s highest order of merit.
