So the Prime Minister of Malaysia, the President of the Phillipines, and Yasser Arafat walk into a chatroomÉ

So I’m working on my thesis, and I come across this History of the Internet and this entry, under 1996:

Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, PLO Leader Yasser Arafat, and Phillipine President Fidel Ramos meet for ten minutes in an online interactive chat session on 17 January.

I can just imagine how this one turns out:

You are now talking on #worldleaders
a/s/l?
what?
Let’s place outcast — you don’t live on an island! Loser!
But the Occupied Territories are like an island.
But you lose anyway.
Whose idea was this, anyway?
So what are we supposed to do?
This sucks.
Yeah.
Word.
<--- Fidel has now left #worldleaders -->
<--- Yasser has now left #worldleaders -->
Guys?
<--- Mahathir has now left #worldleaders -->
