AP - The Magical Kingdom of Ali Baba
Eschewing the presidential custom of donning the traditional attire of his foreign hosts, Barack Obama wore a stylish two-piece charcoal Armani suit when meeting with the Saudi Chieftain, Paul Abdul al-Toona Bin There Dun That.
The two world leaders posed for photographs at the king's bizarrely furnished ranch outside Riyadh. Sitting comfortably in custom upholstered chairs from Sears, the president was perplexed by the life-size portrait of the king towering above them.
"That is me!" King Abdul proudly exclaimed, "I worked as a Hollywood extra in the old silent movie days. It was great times. I met so many great movie stars. Really great."
At which the president inquired, "You don't look that old."
Flattered, the king smiled and confessed, "This black beard and mustache... shoe polish! Really! It's great, eh? No one can tell!"
President Obama continues his fantastical foreign tour with stops in Cairo to meet the mummy of Pharaoh Ramses the Third and on to France where he will place flowers at the Tomb of the Unknown Mime.
