Aliens
The excitement was downright tangible. Means of communication was found and proven to work!
The aliens had agreed to have their first press conference for journalists. One for each country, one question per journalist.
Just as everybody was set and the event was about to begin, there appeared to be some commotion among the press. Somebody was shuffling and elbowing their way up to the front.
There was some grumbling, but if only one out of around 200 was that uncivilized, things were pretty good, actually!
The conference began, it was time for first question. Just as the Afghani journalist was about to ask her question, that pushy one shouted:
“Why did you land HERE, instead of the United States?'
