Boy, how dumb can someone be to invade the wrong country. You got to be pretty stupid.

Maybe that's why the Swiss are a neutral country.

Did they discover their mistake after crossing into Belgium or France? It only took like what 5 minutes to walk across the whole country-it's only about 60 sq. miles.

Didn't anybody have a map?

Didn't anybody have a map?

Or the sign that said "Welcome to Liechtenstein. You're now leaving Liechtenstein. Thank you for visiting."

France Surrenders as “Pre-Caution” After Swiss Troops Wander Into Liechtenstein
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, 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.


French spokesman Pierre Renault felt that the rest of the world was underestimating the Swiss.

“The Swiss are brutal, cold killers,” he said. “Yes, we know their history and the facade of neutrality. But underneath that lurks the heart of a totalitarian dictatorship that wants to force skiing on humanity. First Liechtenstein, then who knows?”

Liechtenstein, for their part, seemed to take the incident in stride.

“If it’s not the drunk Austrians, it’s the lost Swiss,” said Orlan Fapo, the Head of Government and chief Liechtensteinian snow-plower. “At least the Swiss realized their mistake. Most of the time, people are through the country before they realize they were in it.”

Great post. I was going to suggest that the Swiss should have saved it for the French. It might be the one country they could defeat.

Yeah, what you said.

Nelson, that was hysterical!

OMG you scared me for a second! I was ready to get on a plane and help them defend their cute little country.

Tres drole!!

Oh my word, what a mistake to make!

What is quite interesting here is that the defence of Liechtenstein is the responsibility of Switzerland.

Oh, and apparently also the responsibility of a buxom barmaid.

I thought I was bad with directions, but at least I never almost started a war.
