America refuses to confirm or deny its refusal to confirm or deny plans to station B-52 nuclear bombers in a Darwin love shack.
US Colonel H. Highpants said enigmatically, “We prefer to be left to our own explosive devices.”
A spokeswoman for the Department of Defence said: “Americans are divided into two camps. Conspiracy-guzzling, gun-sucking fascists or commo-loving, tree-fondling cannabinoids. But don’t worry, they’ll come to Australia’s rescue, if they haven’t killed each other.”

A climate change activist standing beside a B-52 said, “At last – an issue I can really glue myself to!”
