Nobel Prize: Return to Sender

Dear Meester Gore:

By gawly, ve really got egg on our faces dis time!

Yew remember dat Nobel Peace Prize dat ve gave yew a few yahrs ago? Ve avarded dat tew yew on account of yer publicizin’ de t’ret of global varming. Now, by yimminy, de whole t’ing is beginnin’ tew look yust like vun a’ dem dere Nigerian email scams.

Ve t’ink, under de circumstances, dat it vould be a gewd idea if yew vere to return de Nobel Prize tew us at yer earliest convenience (dat vould be bote de medal an’ de cash), an’ denn ve yus’ don’t say no more about it.

But ve don’t vant yew tew go avay mad or nuttin’, so ve are sendin’ yew, by separate post, twelve yars of cloudberry yam, an’ a large bag of Olaf’s Premium reindeer yerkey.

Yer friend,

Thorbjøm Jagland
Chairman, Nobel Peace Prize Committee
