Operation Epic Worry: what we're all taking part in.

Consider Operation Epic Surry, where the target population is stunned and confused by drones repeatedly playing the Rogers & Hammerstein hit from their 1943 musical OKLAHOMA.

We could settle differences with Operation Epic Hurry: the head of each country drinks 22 ounces of tea plus the complimentary water found in his rental car, then attempts to reach one of the rest stops on the Merritt Parkway before an accident* occurs. *Biological or mechanical
