Drafted Into the War with Iran

Angelina Jolie walks into the room holding an envelope like it’s a dramatic movie prop.

Angelina:
“Happy birthday, Joey.”

Joey:
“Thanks… why do you look like you’re about to give a speech at the Oscars?”

Angelina (opening the letter):
“Because this is important. Congratulations. You’ve been drafted.”

Joey:
“Drafted? Drafted where?”

Angelina:
“To the war with Iran.”

Joey:
“What?! I don’t want to go to war! I don’t want to fight Iran for Israel!”

Angelina slowly lowers the letter and stares at him with theatrical seriousness.

Angelina:
“That’s anti-Semitic, son.”

Joey blinks in disbelief.

Joey:
“I just said I don’t want to go to war!”

Angelina straightens her posture like a drill sergeant.

Angelina (pointing toward the door):
“Now… forward march!”

Joey sighs, looking back at the untouched birthday cake.

Joey:
“Worst birthday ever…” 🎂
