WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)Donald Trumps plan to dispatch troops to several American cities has hit a major snag, as federal agents have been unable to determine which unmarked van in the Department of Homeland Security parking garage is theirs.
According to one agent who spoke on condition of anonymity, hundreds of agents are currently wandering around the huge D.H.S. garage in Washington, fruitlessly attempting to locate the correct unmarked van.
Its like a baggage-claim nightmare, the agent complained. Many unmarked vans look alike.
Although sending unmarked vans to cities seemed like a really cool idea at first, the ensuing confusion might be a compelling reason to maybe think about going with marked vans instead, the frustrated agent said.
Speaking to reporters, the acting head of the Department of Homeland Security, Chad Wolf, said that agents inability to locate the correct unmarked vans had been exaggerated, and added that he was working with the D.H.S. laundry to insure that agents stop receiving other agents unmarked uniforms.

And last week when I made my weekly grocery store trip, I hauled my bag out to my car, but my key wouldn't work! Turned out it wasn't my car, mine was two spaces over - so it is an easy mistake to make even in a local parking lot.
