Summit Wrong

Chinese officials are rejoicing over the arrival at the summit of Mount Everest of a special high-altitude Olympic torch.

The torch was carried to the roof of the world by a team of 12 climbers, with the final ascent shown live on Chinese TV.

“We’re very pleased about this feat,” said a Chinese spokesman. “This is about the only place on earth where you can see the Olympic flame without some damn fool protesters trying to grab it. In fact we’re thinking of relocating the entire Olympics to the summit of Everest.”
