In what is being called by some a gesture of brotherhood in the middle east, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad offered to help Israel move sometime in the near future.
The President said: "It is difficult to schedule and carry out a move, and I am willing to help. We have several excellent moving companies that serve Iran, and I am sure something can be worked out."
The President added that even he and a few of his buddies would be willing to help, as long as he didn't have to move any entertainment centers or captain's beds.
Israeli President Shimon Peres dismissed the offer as "just another ploy by Iran to exert it's influence." He stated that he happened to know that Ahmadinejad had back problems, and would probably "carry a few boxes then just sit and eat pizza in the truck." Peres accused Ahmadinejad of loafing when he said he was helping move some of the Taliban into Pakistan, and that rumor has it that he ate most of the best donuts that were meant for everyone.
Ahmadinejad countered by saying that Israel was just putting things off because they have so many "nick knacks, you know, Hummels and stuff like that" and they know what a hassle it would be to pack them all. He added that "there are several nice areas in Europe, one in particular right near Albania, that would be perfect for Israel to move to. This one particular area has good shopping, nice weather, and it's on a bus line."
The Iranian president said he was doing his part, and even had plenty of extra boxes from when he received arms shipments from Russia and China. He then quickly added "and borscht and fortune cookies, too. We get plenty of that." He even offered to bring some to the move.
