In an extraordinary development the USA and UK governments have accused Iran of stock piling massive quantities of Bingo Balls at a time when bingo players are suffering from the Nobingo (A1B1) syndrome.
The US claims that a back packer in Tehran saw a whole warehouse full to the rafters with bingo balls.
General H.A. Daub who was the instigator behind the WMD report had this say "We had suspected for some time that the Tehran government was aware that Chinese production of Bingo Balls was going to fall by 90% this year and had began an operation to buy all surplus supplies without releasing them onto the markets. We have seen the effects of the lack of bingo balls in circulation with the closure of thousands of bingo halls around the world resulting in the current outbreak of A1B1 syndrome."
A spokeswoman at the Tehran embassy denied these allegations. "It is true there is a warehouse full of balls in Las Vegas Street, Tehran but these are in fact colored table tennis balls. As you know table tennis is the national sport of Iran and we are holding the Middle East Table Tennis Championships next month and these are the balls for that tournament.
General H.A. Daub responded to this explanation. "The US and UK governments want UN Bingo Ball inspectors to be allowed to check the stock. If the Tehran administration refuses then we shall have no option but to put in place a table tennis bat embargo to Iran and if this disrupts their tournament then they only have themselves to blame."
