Best point so far.

Pat Bagley, a political cartoonist here in Salt Lake, once published a book of cartoons titled We Survive World War Three and You Give Us Light Beer? One of his cartoons showed two guys opening the hatch from a bunker and peeking out at the devastation everywhere. The caption is "I think we won."
Reminds of an old Amiga game, named Nuclear War. In the end, there was an animation of a little dwarf men hopping around with the arms raised and yelling and dancing and shouting in extasy - with the surface of the earth being a dark grey smoldering ruin and everything flat and of ashes and black cold lava, and the tiny little man laughs "I won, I won!"
