Lock up the silverware.
This article is just too bizarre not to post. The short of it: food workers at UN headquarters stage a walkout because of a contract dispute; UN staff and diplomats are left without lunch; UN staff and diplomats loot the cafeterias, from entire turkeys and souffles down to the silverware.
They didn’t even have a recently-deposed dictator to be happy about being liberated from. The US military declined to comment on why they hadn’t sent a tank to guard the liquor bar. We may be thankful that at least they had the civility to not loot any nearby museums for millenia-old copies of the Gilgamesh epic.
I’m going to stop now, because it’s just too easy. :) Let this be an entertaining, yet at the same time sobering, reminder how little separates us from so-called “savages” on the Scale-O’-Civilization.
