A Presidential Response (v1.1)

Secretary of Defence: Mr President, what you have here is a level three zombie infestation.1

President: Is that bad? It sounds bad but I don’t know.2

SoD: Sir, this is very bad. This is biblical worst-case-scenario-type-of-event.3

President: Wow, that sounds pretty bad. Suggestions?4

SoD: I would suggest dropping nukes on all infected major cities.5

President? Which ones?6

SoD: All of them…7

President: That sounds bad too. What else do you have?8

SoD: I’m afraid it comes down to nukes.9

President: National guard?10

SoD: Mostly zombies, sir.11

President: You don't have much good news do you?12

SoD: ...13

President: Are you sure we can’t just ride this out? Maybe it'll blow over if I spent a couple of weeks out on the ranch... hmmmm14

SoD: Mr President, you really don’t want to sit on this too long. Zombies are like cockroaches and students; leave ‘em be and pretty soon they get into everything!15

President: Ok... thinking nukes. How do you think the voters will respond?16

SoD: Frankly sir, it isn’t going to matter much one way or the other.17

President: So, it’s a good option than?18

SoD: It’s the only option.19

President: Let us be men and do what we must for this great nation.21

President walks to his desk, hesitates a moment then pushes the red flashing button of atomic doom.

SoD draws in a steep embarrassed breath.22

SoD: ah, mister President, you realise that button is for attacking our default targets in Russia in case of a surprise attack?23

President: ehmmmm, I ahhh, sure did…24

JimZombie: and there it is, the world ends pretty much as expected the god-fearing masses of the 1950s, 60s, 70s and 80s thought; with nuclear fire, not zombies as thought by the majority of today’s heathens. Still, the zombies get to clean up the scraps.
