Diplomatic Reuben

Rueby Tuesday by Carlos and Jean Aleman

In the early 1900's, Reuben's ancestors ventured over to China to establish an alliance between that country and the Reubenites. General Reuben was sent with the Reubenite ambassador, Rufus. Once they arrived in China, they met with the Chinese ambassador, Ching-I.

The meeting went exceptionally well. The two countries worked out terms for a military and diplomatic arrangement that was mutally beneficial to both countries.

As they were preparing to leave, however, Rufus broached the possibility of manufacturing Reuben action figures in Chinese factories. They were thrown out of the country and told never to return.
