PHARAOH: I am fully aware that many loyal Egyptians have long been in desperate need of a well-paying job, and, I acknowledge, the pyramid initiative might have provided a perfect opportunity to employ multitudes while developing our all-important monument infrastructure. Due to budgetary constraints, however, the government was forced to enslave Jews to perform the tasks that might have been performed by able-bodied Egyptians, and for that I am truly sorry. But things are about to change for the better. The Jewish exodus, happening so soon after the killing of our first born males citizens, has created a labor shortage that should result in full employment for the remaining populace.
