The Lemming's Wrath

 Backpacks Banned in Sole Purpose of Making Children Miserable

Before the start of the '00/'01 school year, schools country wide made a decision that children, nurses and doctors everywhere will perk their ears in interest. For years and years physicians have laid claim to theorys that backpacks are a key player in children and adults back problems alike. It is only now that they have decided to put a restriction on these harmful tools.

"I believe this to be a revolutionary idea to rid people of their pain over a just period of time," quotes Dusty Mop, in charge of the Ban Backpack and Make Children scurry Back to Their Lockers Climbing 8 Flights of Stairs and then Getting Yelled at for Being Late Association. "I'm sure that children will be grateful."

"The hallways are way too crowded with backpacks sticking in every direction. We believe that this restriction will be a notible part in hallway space, and will bring the children closer together as they huddle to collect their fallen books." says nurse Patrick, "I personally am looking forward to making them scramble."

Because of the number of schools taking interset in this policy, schools are now offering a class on how to shove eight classes worth of books into three foot lockers. Pricipals everwhere are looking forward to the new school year, and this new life saver of a policy.

 Ralleys Get Out of Hand as People Urge the U.S. to Get a Real Name

Last Wednesday night, police officers in the Washington area were scrambling to break up one of the largest ralleys since Reagan claimed that ketchup was a vegetable.Their purpose: change the name of the U.S.

"What kind of name is the United States of America anyway? I mean, half the time it's The U.S.A or the U.S or America (wherever we got that one I don't know) or even the United States, but how united are we anyway? Look at Great Britain. How far did their adjective get them? We're jinxing ourselves to end up like Europe, G-d help us all."

"Besides," adds onlooker Getta Job, "statistics show that 78% of our high school graduates can't find Canada! My Lord, I knew that the U.S was screwy, but Canada? Therefore, I believe that we should change our name into TOBC, The One Below Canada. One sylable, no other nick names, it even has a European feel to it that would be in the best interest for trade agreements. I'm all for TOBC." Other names that were requested consisted of- The Big 50, Move Here, We're not Cuba, You Could be an Intern,We're not Englend, We Grow Stuff, We're not Australia, Our Tea Prices Are Low, and At least it's not in the UK.

(I would just like to apologize to anyone who lives in England, Cuba, Australia, the UK, Canada, Great Britian, Europe, or a mixture. I have to live here. You should feel special that you don't.)

 4th of July Put on Hold as Fireworks Blow up Lincoln Memorial

This 4th of July gave Wasington a whole new meaning of freedom as our own Lincolm Memorial was blown to no more than folicles of granite. Government officials are now looking into possible causes, although most of the American people aren't quite thick enough to not understand what really happened.

"Um, we, and I'm sleeping, I mean speaking for the elected Washington officials, believe that there was an accident. Maybe it was hooligans, earlier that year we found another statue wearing a thong, or maybe it was a posed threat. We're not quite sure who excactly wanted to destroy the memorial, although we have our suspicians. We are quite sure, though, that a stray firework was probably the cause of the destruction." A witness, Sherry Sweatsalot, had a bit of a different opinion.

"I don't quite think that a stray firework is sabatoge. Besides, who would even want the big guy to be blown up? The Canadians? Yah, right, and I'm Clinton's new intern. All I saw was a burst of light, for all I know it could've been Jesus." Poloticians are now exploring the possibility that it really was a message from the Really Big Guy, and have desided to put up body guards around the other memorials on the other major holidays. They especially believe that Christmas could be dangerous.

(I Love America.)
