It is with deep regret that I have to announce that Iron Serif will not be posting his weekly joke today. Apparently, due to the end of the school year antics most college students experience, he had a little “run-in” with not only the local law enforcement authorities, but with state and federal authorities, too. Iron sent me an e-mail trying to delicately explain what happened but it was confusing to follow and understand, to say the least. I will do my best to summarize.

The night after his graduation, Iron was bumming around his pad when one of his friends that is living in one of the “frat houses” invited him over to where a party was already in action. Iron tends to be the life of the party so what else could he have done except to drop the remote and pick up a beer (or two). Things began to progress throughout the late afternoon and into the early evening without much incident.

Apparently, Iron met this girl that he said was absolutely stunning. She spoke with a “European” accent (he didn’t say anything other than “European”) and that was a real turn-on for him. They seem to connect on some deep spiritual level, he said, and “the sparks were flying” (his words, not mine). Well, one thing led to another and before you know it, they were in a spare bedroom where they were breathing heavily…oh, and taking off their cloths.

About this time, the party is crashed by the local cops because of the open alcohol in the front lawn. The local cops go into the house to round everyone up and get them on their way and lo and behold, they find our J-Hoe-kster Pimp in his boxers and the lovely young lady in nothing but a g-string. After proper identification was obtained, the federal authorities were called because the new love of IronÂ’s life just happened to be the 17-year-old high school daughter of the Ambassador of the Spanish Embassy in Washington, D.C.

By the time that the Secret Service arrived on the scene, the Maryland State Police (who had given the SS an escort from the state line) ticketed and towed his car because it had an expired tag on it. But that was the least of his worries. The Secret Service was totally up in arms over the incident because they had to contact the State Department, which then is going to have to issue an apology to the Spanish Embassy. Well, it doesnÂ’t stop there.

Apparently, some officials from the Spanish Embassy came along to take custody of the AmbassadorÂ’s daughter and when they took one look at Iron Serif, thatÂ’s when the real, real trouble began. One of the officials said that he could positively identify Iron Serif as one of the lead Basque separatist that causes the Spanish government quite a lot of grief. Iron attempted to explain that he was an American citizen and had nothing to do with the Basque when he was handcuffed and arrested under the Patriot Act.

Since Spain is one of our allies, the government decided not to send him to Gitmo but rather deport Iron Serif to Spain to stand trial there for being a terrorist. The day after he arrived, the charges were dropped when they realized that he wasn’t a terrorist but he wasn’t released. See, since the Ambassador’s daughter was “violated” and “robbed of her virginity”, the Ambassador himself made a personal request to King Juan Carlos the 1st that Iron Serif be forced to marry his daughter to save face.

So, thatÂ’s where our Iron Serif is sitting at today. Residing in a Spanish prison awaiting a forced marriage to a 17-year-old who happens to be the daughter of SpainÂ’s Ambassador to the United States. Once he is officially married, the King said that he is going to allow Iron to return to the United States. According to his e-mail, that should be about this same time next week.

Until then, be sure to ask for a state approved Identification CardÂ…

LOL - That crazy Iron always getting into trouble.

Hey, at least she's hot....it could be worse.

It probably will be, if he ever even *thinks* of cheating on her... If her temper isn't bad enough, imagine what her father can have done to him

THAT is quite a story. Wow

Hope things turn out alright Serif

Seems a bit over-the-top to me... but *shrug*

Is this real?
Or did he just take something really good that he thought was a piece of candy and wake up with his pants around his ankles and his butt really greasy?

LOL!

I was hoping someone would pick up on it.....Friday is Joke Day around the Daily Disturbance and Iron told me last week that he was going to be out of town on vacation. I told him that I'd fill in for him on Friday and type up something really good.

From the responses, it seems that some people almost believed me.......

LOL!

Yeah, Your story telling was elaborate...but QUITE unbelieveable....You could have sold that to a van full of nuns....And went to hell for lying all at the same time....
Digi

I like it though....
Time to chalk up all the dumb Arses that fall or fell for it....

From the looks of it, Iateronmly got the joke right off the bat. Props to Iat.

Yeah, I had to think up something special; yet, keep it almost real. As my grandfather taught me, there are two succesful ways to lie.

1. Tell the truth. All of it. Make it sound so fantastic that the other person would have no choice but to think that you are lying.

2. Tell the truth, but only part of it. Leave holes in the story.

However, neither one applies in this case.

I was always under the impression to be a good liar you had to have two things down pat...

The ability to hold a straight face...WHICH I CAN NOT DO WHEN LYING.....

And the ability to believe your own lie as truth....

Props to Iat....

Good one though rob...I owe ya some bling when I can....

lol good one rob, i thought that seemed pretty extravagant but i almost believed ya for a sec there.... in fact i would have had you not said he was detained under the patriot act and sent to spain... that and the mention of guitmo itself is enough to make me suspicious. good one tho bling to ya

OMG, I actually sort of believed it for a minute after reading it and before reading the other posts.
Thats actually a creative story there.

That was good joke. Maybe saturday should turn into story day?

That was a nice write-up, Rob! Blingage (not like it matters, Mr. 9-green-bars! lol) for you sir.

I almost believed it for a second. I definitely fell for the college party, and the sexy girl with the "European accent," but the rest of it seemed really far-fetched. I won't lie, I was almost accepting it. The story was well written and a lot of details that were there that made it seem factual. A lot of name-dropping, a lot of other stuff fooled me. In this crazy world these days it's hard to figure out what to believe and whatnot not to, you know?

Still a nice and entertaining read, nonetheless.

I think all the staff memebers are on vacation or MIA. Im_gumby, Iron, Flounder, and Necro. Good Story Rob

You had me all the way up until:

That's right about when the hoax fully sat in for me, too.

It was late at night, I believed it. I tend to like believing these stories more than I like doubting them. I came back to reread the responses and realized I'd probably be seeing something on the news....

but then I thought "Maybe I'll check". It's really early in the morning

That would be a kickass story to be able to tell your grandchildren
