The location for the Miss World Pageant scheduled for December 9 was changed from Nigeria to London on Friday, due to violent protests in Nigeria. Unfortunately, equipment for the UN weapons inspectors was routed through Nigeria on the same day, causing a luggage mix-up of epic proportions. According to inside sources, the luggage switch has left Miss World contestants even more confused than normal and UN inspectors angry and a little turned-on.

Several white UN vans arrived at the Berkshire Hotel in London today, where many Miss World contestants are staying during the pageant. The contents of the vans were unloaded and sent to the rooms of the contestants.

In Baghdad, there was a different story. Several limousines pulled up to the housing facility for UN inspectors and unloaded literally tons of luggage, much more than would actually be needed for the inspections that lie ahead.

"I was incensed at first, then, I think I was slightly stimulated," says an anonymous male UN inspector who opened what was supposed to be radar ground sensor and instead found women's underwear. "Apparently, a really good-looking woman's underwear," he adds. "I haven't seen underwear this small since, oh, somewhere during the first year of marriage," alluding to one of the many reasons someone would volunteer for the job of arms inspector in Iraq.

The UN itself is upset at the misplacement of equipment that is worth tens of millions of dollars. The Miss World Pageant organizers estimate their contestants' misplaced belongings are worth "considerably more than that."
