In a surprise 3 a.m. announcement President-elect Donald J. Trump said notorious alien/Memphian Prince Mongo would join his cabinet as Secretary of the Interior.
“Oh spirits, this was such a wonderful surprise,” says Mongo, who’s dabbled in Memphis politics for much of his life on Earth, but never held office. “The President-elect said he was looking around on Facebook, just killing a little time, and he saw my new profile picture, and knew I was the spirit for the job.”
Mongo admits he was surprised to discover that, while the position is called “Secretary of the Interior,” much of his job concerned land management, parks, and the the great outdoors.
“All I know is we’re gonna do some decorating,” Mongo said excitedly. “I’ve already got plans for the Grand Canyon that involves miles and miles of clothesline, and some really beautiful underpants designed for larger women.”
According to Mongo his conversation with Trump was short but good.
“He asked where I saw myself in 5-years,” Mongo says. The answer: “Working closely with the administration in its second term, of course. Only this time I’m Rubber Chicken czar.”
