World Reacts in Shock at Existence of Tunisia

Hoover, Alabama - The residents of Hoover awoke to the shocking news of events in the North African nation of Tunisa this morning. According to sources, news of the departure of long-time President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali and the ascension to power of Fouad Mebazaa has rocked this small Alabama town. The most shocking aspect of all of this - the existence of Tunisia.

"It's got everyone a little off-kilter this morning" said Shelia Ray Hines, an attendant at the local 'Short Stop' gas station famous for their chicken-on-a-stick. "Everyone's been coming in all morning talking about it. Most are just shocked that they'd gone their whole lives and ain't ever heard of the place."

Families with small children are finding it even harder to deal with.

"My son come up to me and asked me 'Daddy where's Tunisa?'" said Ben Smith a local resident. "I'd never heard of the place, so I just told him Utah."

Residents of Hoover and other towns in America are eagerly awaiting the end of events in Tunisia, anxious to put a severe deficiency in the knowledge of world geography behind them.
