Sometimes you just need to laugh

In spite of recent events (the car bomb in Marib, the cancellation of all 4th of July activities, the Yemeni gov't preventing us from touring outside of Sana'a), it's still good to take a step back and laugh a little. All the recent stuff reminded me of an Onion article, so I thought I'd post it here:
