How to Tell if You’re Involved in the Petraeus Scandal

The New Yorker, The Borowitz Report, Andy Borowitz

http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/borowitzreport/2012/11/how-to-tell-if-youre-involved-in-the-petraeus-scandal.html#ixzz2CAAkSat3

In response to a high volume of panicked phone calls from the general public, the C.I.A. has published a new informational brochure entitled “How to Tell if You’re Involved in the Petraeus Scandal.”

The C.I.A. rushed to produce the brochure after it became clear that as many as one in three Americans may have some involvement in the Petraeus affair.

The booklet includes a “simple, user-friendly checklist” that should help people determine whether they are at risk for being implicated in the scandal:

“Have you ever met David Petraeus? Have you ever received and/or sent shirtless photos of an F.B.I. agent? Have you ever exchanged e-mails with Jill Kelley? Under five thousand pages of e-mails and you’re probably O.K., but anywhere between ten thousand and fifteen thousand pages of e-mails could potentially mean you’re involved in some way,”.


I just checked my gmail account. There's a photo of a shirtless man. How do I determine if he's an FBI agent?? Do they have a special tattoo or birthmark?? How did I become involved????

To launch a cover-up: Wash with bleach and snap your heels three times.
