Asad's Rocket

President Bashar el Asad of Syria at his weekly cabinet meeting, informed his ministers that President Ahmadi Najad of Iran built a Space Shuttle and would travel to Mars in the coming months. President Asad then declared that he wanted to build a Rocket and would travel to the Sun. In fear, Asad's ministers replied, "But President, how can we travel to the Sun when it is so hot? We will melt from the heat". "You fools!" shouted Asad. "Of course we will melt. Don't you think I know that? We will build the rocket and travel to the Sun at night!"
