Washington - €œToo expensive!€� €œToo complicated!€� €œUnrealistic!€� €“ This is the sort of criticism US President Donald Trump is currently facing over plans to build a wall along the border with Mexico. An offer from home furnishings brand, IKEA, could solve all of these problems with a single blow.
The Scandinavian furniture maker has offered the USA a practical, ready-made solution with €œBörder WÃ¥ll€�. All they need to do is pick it up in a van from the nearest IKEA branch and put it up where they want it to go. Totalling US $9,999,999,999.99, €œBörder WÃ¥ll€� is significantly cheaper than a conventional wall. Estimates suggest that a conventional wall would cost between US $15 and $25 billion.
According to government press secretary, Sean Spicer, President Trump is currently inspecting the offer:

The simple, Scandinavian designed border wall (with a 5 year guarantee) is primarily made of pressboard with a birch effect and can be assembled with the help of a hex key. A 12,000 page instruction manual with easy-to-understand pictures makes construction childs play €“ as long as there is not a single screw missing.
€œHowever, assembly requires two people: one person can hold the wall while the second screws it together€�, it states in IKEAs offer.
The basic model of the wall is 33ft (10 m) tall and 1,954 miles (3,144 km) long, although the height and length can be extended as desired.
IKEA has already announced that it will design other products in the next few weeks that will be compatible with €œBörder WÃ¥ll€�. According to inside sources, this includes products such as the €œGÃ¥wk€� watchtower and the €œRÃ¥tÃ¥tÃ¥tÃ¥tÃ¥tÃ¥€� spring-gun.

They'd be better off getting the Chinese to install it - they know how
to do walls, or even the Romans.

I wonder which if the two people have to stand on opposite sides of
the wall?

I read it all without problem but wondering if a Swedish Chef or
somebody called Wallander was going to appear and what was offensive
about them before I realised what character meant.
