After being forced to purchase protective suits for 17,000 KPW (1.58 GBP; 14.57 CNY) that were meant to keep residents safe during a nuclear or biological attack, the central government’s civil defense department found that more than half the residents of Hyesan had used the suits as raingear or as a sunshade while working outside.
What do you think?
“The government wanted to make sure I had a radiation suit, but wasn’t concerned that I didn’t already have a raincoat. Think about that for a minute.”
“Yeah, did they also tell you we were limited to one per household? I have a husband and two kids–which one of us gets to wear the radiation suit?”
“Please, take me with you. I’m starving to death.”
