NEW YORK, Sept. 21 (UPI) -- This week's U.N. General Assembly meeting in New York has inspired a satirical "Late Show" Top 10 list.

David Letterman read "Items on the United Nations General Assembly Agenda" on Tuesday's edition of the show.

It read as follows:

10. Screw with the Swedes.

9. Recap highlights from last night's "Two and a Half Men."

8. Goodbye, Euro; hello, Chuck E. Cheese tokens.

7. Pass resolution that Steve Carell "was robbed" at the Emmys.

6. Gently break it to the Russians that they've been writing their Rs backwards all these years.

5. Finally nail down which one's Uruguay and which one's Paraguay.

4. Pitch sitcom about Greece and United States called "2 Broke Countries."

3. Do whatever China says.

2. Congratulate whatever country came up with "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" books, 'cause those were awesome.

1. Debate whether to renew the Letterman fatwa.
