Chirac%20Surrender2.gifGiven the national propensity of France to surrender, this should come as no surprise:

The Swiss government announced Friday morning that they have received a letter of "full, unequivocal surrender" from the French government, apparently in response to an incident Thursday night when 170 Swiss infantry soldiers accidentally wandered across an unmarked border into the tiny country of Liechtenstein. The accidental incursion was quickly corrected when the Swiss troops, out searching for a buxom, disoriented beermaid who had lost her way from a ski chalet, realized that they had crossed over into Liechtenstein, a tiny country of 30,000 people which is often confused with a soft mossy fungus that grows on tree bark.

Despite the fact that the incident occurred nowhere near French territory (see map), the French were apparently taking no chances. According to reports, the French government at first planned to protest the "Swiss aggression" with a week-long strike and "Love-In," but their military experts determined that, if force-marched, the Swiss troops and the chesty beer maid would be in Paris in several days. The decision was made to surrender.
