The Swiss gold in the vault at Neuchatel has been certified by trained dental techicians as being 100% extractable metal.

There was a rumour that is was being used as a filler in the paint of garden trolls in order to reduce their tendency to degrade under the acid rain drifting in from Rumanian soap factories, where, it has been alleged, child labour was being used. This has since been discredited, as the recent Swiss invasion of Rumania has shown not a shred of evidence that soap was being made in those factories.

There is a plebiscite in Switzerland concerning the renaming of their national airline. They are thinking of making them into flying motels, and naming the line William Won't Tell Air Holidays. I favour Happy Cuckoo Air with a real cuckoo bird on the wing as a logo. There is also a box to fill in on the form with the question, mark one or both but not neither A. Should Switzerland sell all its gold at 200 US dollars per ounce, and then have everyone move to Florida, or B. should we come clean and admit that we already sold it, and merge with France.

You can go back to sleep now.
