UNITED NATIONS -- Red-faced United Nations officials on Monday admitted to a major security lapse after a UN guard helped Kentucky Fried Chicken's "Colonel Sanders" gain access to restricted areas.
The guard escorted the white-suited intruder past security barriers, where he got a handshake from the UN General Assembly president, Dr. Ali A. Treki of Libya.
The faux fast food chain founder also posed for a picture beneath the assembly's giant UN logo, which overlooks the spot where world leaders address their international counterparts.
"It should not have happened -- that I will stress, and very strongly," said Michele Montas, spokeswoman for UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.
"There was some lapse in security and the individual in question . . . was, on the initiative of one security guard, taken . . . into the UN."
The real Harland "Colonel" Sanders typically wore a white suit and string bow tie, but he has been dead since 1980.

Col. Sanders With Libyan Ambassador Ali Treki
He's not really dead, Jim. I think the story of Col. Sanders death is another urban legend!
:-)
NEW ZEALAND IS THE KFC CAPITAL OF THE WORLD!!!
(sorry, just had to squeeze that factoid in)
I heard the UN meeting with Col Sanders was “finger lickin’ good”
It's all the preservatives....
I actually met the real Col. Sanders before he passed. He was very, very nice to us.

I’d love to see this on Beck when he speaks with John Bolton on Friday...
Those 12 herbs and spices have preservative powers.
Love it! It couldn’t have happened to a bigger bunch of fools...except maybe Congress.
This is very easy to explain. The UN personnel, seeing as they are the type of bloodsucker that gives leeches a bad name, thought the Colonel was gonna bring ‘em free chicken as part of the promotion this week. After all, these guys would sell their grandmothers for a petty bribe.
Applause and LOL. This is great.
Depending on who he shook hands with, I hope he washed his hands before he licked his fingers!
he’s every bit as real a colonel as Gadahffi is ...

you can’t make this stuff up...
I met him twice. He was a real gentleman. BTW his original recipe chicken is real good, slaw pretty good, biscuits okay, but they stopped serving greens.
KFC bump!
