G-8 Summit Tosses $20.00 at World's Hungry

According to the latest estimates from the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization, over 1 billion people in the world are now chronically undernourished. The G-8 Summit's recent pledge to offer 20 Billion dollars to the world's hungry equates to approximately $20 dollars for each of those facing a daily crisis of malnourishment.

Sib Ahmalin, a tribesman in Ghana where President Obama has made a stop during his sojourn to the Summit, said that he is personally grateful for the $20 dollars and plans to use it to purchase two Big Mac's and a chocolate shake as well as the larger fries, should his impoverished village ever get a McDonald's franchise.

"If we do not receive the franchise, my family and I plan to eat the money directly as it contains a needed source of cellulose," stated the suprisingly astute Ghanaian farmer.

When Asked by Rag Box Food and Health Correspondent Jill Klimhausen how much in the way of nutrients one could expect from a $20 dollar bill, she stated that it would provide sufficient pulp for one decent bowel movement. "This is providing that Mr. Ahmalin and his family still have functioning bowels," she added.

The next G-8 Summit whose dates have yet to be set has already promised to increase the amount of aid to the worlds hungry to include spoons, knives, and forks, should they become necessary in the event real aid is on the way.

"It won't be top shelf silverware, mind you. Pretty much the plastic white ones," stated Rolf Ginsborg, Swedish member of the permanent G-8 partnership to feed the world's poor. "But it's a good start. All we need now is $500,000,000 paper plates."
