Easter Island Head Makes Historic Nuke Deal with Iran

In a stunning turn of events, a giant Easter Island head has done what no statuary has ever been able to do before: forge a nuclear deal with Iran.

“He simply wouldn’t budge, so we had to agree with him.” said the Iranian diplomat in charge of negotiations, adding: “We’ve never seen such a stone-faced negotiator.”

With the current anti-American sentiment in Iran, political strategists claim it was a stroke of genius for President Obama to send a well-known sculpture from an ancient culture in place of an American diplomat, and that this may be the reason there was such a breakthrough.

Well, if you want to make headway, I suppose you might as well send an enormous head.

(Oh, I'm kidding: it was John Kerry. And it was brilliant of President Obama to send John Kerry to make this deal, because I'll bet what happened is that he walked into the negotiation room, locked the door, and started talking. And the Iranian guy was probably willing to agree to anything just to get him to shut up.)
