Keeping Up with the Kalashnikovs

My friend, Fionn, was being held hostage in, I don't know, Unganga Nanga, and the government was refusing to send in a team of marines to extract him. Pack of focking cauliflower worriers... I wouldn't have minded being bound and gagged in a basement, just for some peace and quiet. My wife was up the spout again. My daughter had grown into a mix between Suri Cruise and a Chucky doll. And one or two other chickens — well, birds — were coming home to roost. Suddenly I realized what I had to do: go and get Fionn back. Except what I didn't realize was that Unganga Nanga was no country for old tens.
