	Just one question about immediate (or any other kind) 
	nuclear disarmament - where are all those warheads going
	to be put when "Us" and "Them" decide to get rid of them?
	The ocean? Antartica? In space? 

	I admit it's scary to have all those warheads pointed at
	everyone, but if they don't get us now, they'll get us 
	later.

We here in the government have been giving this problem
serious consideration for quite some time now, and, I'm
quite glad to say, have come up with a solution.  This
is the first time that this has been made public, and I
would just like to say it wouldn't have been possible
except that there's no election soon.  I am happy to 
announce the Adopt a Nuke plan.  For only sixty thousand
dollars, any citizen can help with these pesky things,
and have a good time, too.  You'll be able to visit your
adopted nuke, if it's land based, in its silo once a month.
Those of you adopting a submarine based missle will be
able to visit whenever your missle is in port.  And for
the lucky people who get to adopt an air based missle, 
we'll deliver it to you, and it can live with you all
year round.  For people on a budget, you can adopt one
warhead from a MRV missle.  Quite a moneysaver, let me
tell you.  I have one.  Why don't you?
