EXILED AMERICAN ESTABLISHES NEW COUNTRY BETWEEN INDIA AND PAKISTAN AND CALLS IT “TOMATOSTAN”!

Saladabod, Tomatostan – September 9, 2010.

Asians awoke this morning with a new country on the continent thanks to the single-handed effort of exiled liberal American, Steve Zorbaugh. As moonlight bathed the sub-continent, Steve and his basket of tomatoes washed ashore on the dividing line between India and Pakistan after having been adrift on the Indian Ocean for 36 long, treacherous hours. Not wanting to cause ill feelings in either country, the hardy American claimed several acres on both sides of the border and officially declared “The Very Green Independent Republic of Tomatostan” a sovereign nation.

Promising an interview tomorrow with reporters on his plans for the new Republic, the weary sailor and founding father of Tomatostan retired with his basket of tomatoes to a clump of four trees that provide the only shade on the newly-created nation.
