#5 Some comedian in the South should respond with his own list of questions:

1) If starving North Koreans chopped up and ate fat boy, how many people would he feed?

2) If North Korea asked humbly, do you think that China would let them become a colony of slaves?

3) Does the North Korean people think it's time to change their form of government to one that isn't pure evil?

#10 I would have opted for the food spitting out, milk out the nose laughter, likely why I avoided diplomacy.
