King Bartholomew smacked his arm. “Drat! The mosquitoes have invaded the kingdom!”
“Prime Minister: Prepare the Declaration of War on Mosquitoes.”
“Minister of War: Prepare the armies to repel the invasion. Provide every soldier with fly swatters.”

“Minister of War: That method doesn’t work. Why else would mosquitoes be here? This is obvious to anyone with half a brain.”
“Prime Minister, I appoint you the new Minister of War. Provide every soldier with fly swatters.”
