"Mr. President, I hate to say it, but unless we get Congress to agree on a budget or conquered by an alien invasion before the weekend, a national default is unavoidable."
(the Pentagon red phone rings)
"This is the president... They are? I thought they swore off conquering Earth after the platypus venom incident... Well, I suppose it does make more sense to invade America than Australia, we only have guns and missiles... About that, don't do it... Yes, really. Tell them we'll be transmitting an official surrender shortly, as the might of their new super-weapon is simply too terrible to risk its use... Of course they have a new super-weapon, we wouldn't surrender for no reason now would we? ... I'm the President, it's my job to know things... No, just say there's no need to deny it, no matter how sincere the denials... Yes, we'll be using the Microsoft strategy on this one, General. No, don't tell them that part... Yes... Yes, I'll be in the situation room as soon as possible."

"Well I suppose that's one way to balance the budget - find some other schmuck to foist the debt off to."
