The Swiss are a-coming!!!

Apparently, the Swiss recently managed to invade their aggressive, barbarian neighbour of Liechtenstein.
A few Swiss soldiers, doing their traditional long walks across the countryside managed to lose their way and enter the principality accidentally. This was not, as one would so dearly love to believe, an act of aggression by a nation deeply frustrated at its neutrality and its recognition as a clean, tidy, democratic,tax-haven.

The joke that's doing the rounds now is that, unlike their US counterparts, the Swiss managed to realise their mistake, retreat gracefully, and apologise to the ruler of the invaded nation.
