Land of 1,000 Dances
Those in need
of a quick pick-me-up are invited to visit the Land of 1,000 Dances. Tours last
only about two minutes and thirty seconds, but are as exhilarating as many
longer, more elaborate trips to other destinations.
The Land of
1,000 Dances is very small, and is entirely surrounded by the Wilson Memorial
Picket Fence. Entrance to this small
country is through the main gate, where the fee to enter is 1.23 in the local
currency, called the “Wow.”
Every
entrant is welcomed with a horn fanfare. The traditional greeting consists of
placing one’s hands on one’s hips, and then allowing one’s backbone to slip. This
movement is accompanied by vigorous grunting. The cuisine in this country has
only two foods, alligator and mashed potato. Both are served constantly
throughout the day and night, and are always hot.
Dancing comprises the entire reason
this country exists. Be sure to book well in advance for one of the elite VIP
visits. Packages include: doing the Pony with Bony Moronie, or joining Lucy in
the Watusi. For those in search of a more intimate experience, Long Tall Sally
can be contracted for dances in the alley.
Almost as interesting as its
culture dedicated entirely to popular dances of the early 1960s, is the
language of the Land of 1,000 dances. It is a linguistic phenomenon that
baffles both linguists and semioticians. This language, called “Na,” consists
exclusively of that one syllable, chanted repeatedly. What appears on the written page as a
monotonous baby-language is, when spoken, capable of a wide range of emotion.
Although there have been many
attempts to duplicate the experience of a visit to the Land of 1,000 Dances in
other venues, none has been able to match the original.

This one, for example, is notable for being perfectly square.
