Whisky of Mass Destruction - how the US spied on a
tiny island distillery

IN THE wavering image of a webcam, the figures
moved with the sinister intent of those whose mission
is mayhem. Thank heavens "Ursula" was watching
If the slightest possibility exists that Bruichladdich
distillery on Islay is a threat to world peace, we need
to know.
For it has been revealed that Ursula, a spy with the US
Defence Threat Reduction Agency - "Our mission to
safeguard the US and its allies from weapons of mass
destruction" - has been monitoring the island
distillery.
Apparently, it takes just a "tweak" - her words - in the
process of making whisky and Bruichladdich could be
churning out chemical weapons.
And, naturally, Mark Reynier, the managing director
of the Port Charlotte distillery, found out that he was
being spied on only when the Americans admitted it.
"Consider the most surreal scenario imaginable," he
said.
"We install webcams to show the world our whisky is
distilled traditionally. The US government apparently
lock on to the web images, which they think look
dodgy, but we, in Islay, dona(TM)t know that yet.
"We get an e-mail from aUrsulaa(TM) informing us one of
our webcams is faulty.
"We reply, thanking her and inquire who she is.
"She admits shea(TM)s a spy, monitoring sites that
potentially produce WMD. Whata(TM)s the expression?
Only in America!
"Ita(TM)s hilarious," he admitted. "Mind you, wea(TM)re a
sinister- looking bunch, so I can see how we might be
mistaken for al-Qaeda."
The US admitted watching the distilling process
because it is similar to the manufacture of chemical
weapons.
Mr Reynier said: "The original e-mail didna(TM)t say who
it was from, but my reply elicited another reply and it
had the name of the Defence Threat Reduction Agency
(DTRA) on it.
"I thought, aWhat the hell?a(TM) I wrote back and all was
revealed. We were on a ahot lista(TM)." Then with the
astonishing innocence of the American, Ursula
revealed that she worked for the department dealing
with the implementation of the Chemical Weapons
Convention.
Her e-mail read: "I work at the Defence Threat
Reduction Agency. Our mission is to safeguard the US
and its allies from weapons of mass destruction
(chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and high
explosives).
"Our area deals with the implementation of the
Chemical Weapons Convention, so we go to sites to
verify treaty compliance.
"I still find it very funny that their chemical processes
look very similar to your distilling process.
"It just goes to show how atweaksa(TM) to the process can
create something very pleasant (whisky) or deadly
(chemical weapons)."
Once "outed", Ursulaa(TM)s bosses at the DTRA were
quick to point out that they do not consider
Bruichladdich to be a threat to world peace.
A spokesman said: "I am fairly certain that monitoring
Scottish distilleries and checking webcams from time
to time is

Not all the time, but usually. I used let my bush grow free, and it smelled a lot like urine back then, but now I shave it all off, and it smells like tuna. About the only time it doesn't is about a week before my period.
What did Spock find in the toilet?
Number one I order you to take a number two!
I just heard some sad news on talk radio - popular whore and slut Kathleen Fent, was found dead in goatse's ass this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss her - even if you didn't enjoy her free rimjobs and big teeth, there's no denying her contributions to my anus. Truly a Slashdot icon.
