Will Belize invade Texas? And if so, why??

Found in my 'inbox'.


Hey Bill and Adriane,

I ran across something you may or most likely may not find interesting. Seems Belize was included in this year's April Fools Joke from Texas Motor Speedway. Not nearly as funny as last year when he suckered 90% of the local media into it, but it's something.

The following statement was issued today by Texas Motor Speedway President Eddie Gossage regarding his annual April Fool’s joke:

"After last year’s April Fool’s joke became an embarrassment for news organizations on a national level, you would think I would have learned my lesson. While I thought this year’s joke was much tamer, it apparently has touched a nerve for many.

I want to apologize to the Synchronized Swimming Association of America, fitness personality Richard Simmons, koala bear fans and the people of Belize. I especially want to thank Vinai Thummalapally, the U.S. Ambassador to Belize, for his wise counsel.

We’re working hard to prepare for next Saturday night’s Samsung Mobile 500 and I simply didn’t fully consider the impact of my joke."

Note-Due to the nature of the relationship between the U.S. and Belize, Gossage has reached an agreement with the Department of State to make no further comment.

So are you guys about to invade or what?




Take care and tell Scurvy I said "Hey".
