Word Ban Takes Effect Monday
Writers stunned! Speakers worried! The inarticulate happy!
Washington, March 26:
A little known provision of the Patriot Act will go into force on Monday, April 2. All words will be banned. Not only commercial words, political words and dirty words: all of them.
"We were concerned that many people were speaking out of turn," said VP Cheney, " so we thought, what the hell, let's just get rid of them all."
Commentators noted that schools would remain open and tv sets could remain on, but no words would be said or taught. "Oh well," said President Bush, "I never liked them anyway."

LUCY WAS A SLUT!
National Geographic reports:
According to researchers at the University of Florida, Lucy got lice from some hunky gorilla.
"The transfer occurred about 3.3 million years ago, said study leader David Reed, of the University of Florida in Gainesville. That's when the gorilla louse and the human pubic louse separated into distinct species, the research revealed."
In typical humanist apologia, NG said:
"Modern humans (Homo sapiens) weren't around at the time. So the first to be infested by the new lice species were probably Australopithecus, a group of human ancestors that include the famous "Lucy" fossil."
Right! Blame it on the Australians again!
According to NG, "Prior to the transfer our ancestors were troubled by only one species of body louse, as chimpanzees and gorillas are today. Why humans can harbor two species—head lice and pubic lice—has been a mystery until now."
Gee, the magazine wonders:
"The discovery raises the same vexing question faced by anyone who has contracted pubic lice: How exactly did this happen?
"Pubic lice are spread most commonly through sexual contact, but that's not necessarily how our ancestors acquired the parasite from gorillas."
"Unfortunately, we'll never know for sure," Reed said. "Given that the [gorilla louse] species occurs primarily in the pubic region, it is quite possible that the lice were transmitted sexually."
Well, it certainly wasn't picked up on a toilet seat!
