Arrr, matey! The mighty Pentagon be flounderin' like a fish outta water, failin' its treasure count for the seventh time! The DOD be hopin' to have their gold straight by the time the eleventh audit sails in. Aye, ‘tis a jolly mess of doubloons and debts!
Arrr mateys! Gather 'round, fer I bring ye tidings from the grand ship known as the Pentagon! Aye, it be true, this mighty vessel o' the Department of Defense be flounderin' in the stormy seas o' finance, failin' its annual audit fer the seventh year in a row! Why, ye ask? Because the fine lads an' lasses in charge can’t seem to keep their treasure maps straight! They’ve been searchin' fer their doubloons in the wrong chests, it seems!Listen closely, fer each year, a band o' independent public accountants, with their sharp quills and heavy spectacles, dive into the department's treasure trove worth a staggering $4.1 trillion in booty! But alas, they be comin' up empty-handed, as the liabilities weigh in heavier at a whopping $4.3 trillion! 'Tis a right mess, I tell ye! But fret not, the noble officials be hopin' to right their ship by the time audit number eleven rolls around, like a stubborn barnacle clingin' to the hull!
So, raise yer tankards and toast to these brave souls, may they find their way through the foggy financial seas before they be walkin' the plank with their balance sheets! Aye, here’s to audit number ten, let it be the charm!
