This just in from CNS: France Surrenders to Texas High School

Paris (CNSNews.com) – What began as a six-day chaperoned music tour by a group of suburban Houston teenagers ended in an epic conquest in the pre-dawn hours of Friday morning as French military and government officials offered their unconditional surrender to students of the Aldine, Texas Eisenhower High School Music Department.

Accepting the surrender, Eisenhower High School Band and Choral Director Gary Baumer praised the French for avoiding further bloodshed and vowed an immediate postwar rebuilding effort.

“We hope to achieve national recovery by prom,” said Baumer. “The seniors have voted for the theme “Springtime in Paris.”

In a goodwill gesture, Baumer said the victorious students would soon begin releasing most of the 400,000 French prisoners of war they had captured during the brutal three-day campaign.

“We want the prisoners reunited with their families,” said Justin Gonzales, a junior tenor in the Eisenhower Glee Chorus. “Besides, you can’t even begin to imagine the smell.”

Eisenhower High is planning a bake sale and car wash to send the football team to Germany, but that’s not really a fair fight.
