Check-mate

Why did the portuguese president Sam Ham fire the portuguese prime minister Saint Ann Floppy?
This is a question that has puzzled many of the HappyView Bloggers. Journalists, opinion-makers and political analysts have suggested many possible causes but no one is 100% sure of the real reason(s).

Apparently, the decision of the P. came during a game of chess played during the last meeting between P. Sam Ham and PM. Floppy. During the chess game the conversation concerned the resignation of minister Henry Keys. The game of chess and the discussion between P. and PM. ended with P. inquiring PM. if Henry Keys paid for the GoodStay DVD:
