I tried writing a mystery once with some friends, but, they dropped the ball

[Kat Kanning]

And the ball fell and hit some poor bystander on the head....

[Lloyd Danforth]

falling practically at her feet the unfortunate bystander brought unwanted attention to Mary Contrary. Turning before anyone could recognise her, she ran up an alley....

[Kat Kanning]

Where she found a huge bonfire and a strangely smiling man in a long cloak.

[Tom Sawyer]

The ancient cloaked one said, "Let it be known that the petty tyrant's days are numbered."

[Lloyd Danforth]

..and, low and behold, someone pushed that guy's car up against a wall and broke his neck.....

Question -  Is it morally wrong to pay for a UN flag that you're going to burn?  Shouldn't we be stealing them instead?

Only if the UN gets any of the sale price.

Just make a paper effigy of it and the UN building, and burn that.

Here's a great deal on UN flags in 3' by 5' -- if you buy 100 or more, they cost $1.80 each (individually, they are $9.95):

1           $9.95
2-9        $7.95
10-19     $5.95
20-49     $3.95
50-99     $2.50
100+      $1.80

I bet some enterprising liberty lover could buy 100 of them and make a profit by selling them at the next PorcFest for $3 each (2 for $5); they'd be perfect kindling for a nice campfire.

[Kat Kanning]

That'd be a lot of UN flag burning! 

[Lloyd Danforth]

We have found many flags are synthetic and melt rather than burn.

[error]

Hm, the site says they're polyester flags.

[Spencer]

I wonder who you call to find out which flag material burns "best"?

Regardless, it would be a funny phone call to make.

[Kat Kanning]

No need to call...cotton burns best.
