Apology To China
This joke came out shortly after the Apr 2001 incident over China while the pilots of the aircraft were still being held in China until America apologized for the mishap!!!The United States of America apologizes to the People's Republic of China for allowing our slow, lumbering reconnaissance plane to be hit by your poorly trained, hot-dogging fighter pilot, while flying in international airspace.
We're sorry we have to fly surveillance missions to monitor a country that has nuclear missiles pointed at us.
We're sorry your pilot didn't follow international standards of fighter intercept protocol.
We're sorry his aircraft recognition skills were so poor he didn't realize the EP-3 aircraft was propeller driven and flew his aircraft through its propeller arc, destroying his aircraft and nearly killing 24 American crewmen.
We're sorry your fighter pilot's survival training and equipment was so inadequate that he couldn't survive until your poorly trained and equipped navy could find him (they turned down our offer for search and rescue assistance).
We're sorry you violated international law and arrested the crewmen of an aircraft that legally diverted into your airfield under emergency conditions caused by your pilot's actions, after being led there by one of your other pilots.
We're sorry you violated international law and boarded a state aircraft.
We're sorry the world is now seeing you for the enemy of freedom, truth, and democracy that you really are.
We're sorry you see yourself as a superpower when in reality you are a third world nation (the average Chinese worker earns less than $.10 a day).
We're sorry you are loosing so much face over this.
We're sorry that you were able to steal some missile and nuclear secrets from us.
We're sorry you haven't learned from the Soviet Union's collapse and failed to embrace democracy and capitalism (compare tiny Taiwan and mainland China; same people, same culture, but Taiwan's capitalistic economy is a powerhouse and China's economy is still mired in communism).
We're sorry for the future Chinese military deaths that will occur when we retaliate for your roughish behavior.
And most of all, we're sorry for the Chinese people who suffer its leaders' incompetence.
