Maybe the Egyptian Virtue Police can run the locusts off by beating them with their canes.

Passover is less than a month away and one of the Ten Plagues
of Egypt has already arrived to warn off the self-anointed Pharaohs from messing with Israel, as stated in Exodus.

l wouldn’t send a snake to Egypt, let alone a frog. The damned fools are so far beyond stupid that they aren’t worth saving.

Remember the balloon accident last week that killed several tourists. Here's the explanation. The balloon drifted into the path of a swarm of locusts. The burner on the balloon ignited several locusts, which in turn blew up the balloon..
Act of Allah....no liability here...

We send a great deal of aid to Egypt and they have re-written their constitution to allow slavery. Apparently Mr. Obama approves as his Arab ancestors practiced it.
