A rather nice parody on a subject at the forefront of our minds at present.............
The World Health Organisation today (WHO) issued a new warning against
non-essential travel to the entire Western hemisphere following renewed
concerns about the spread of Severe Loss of Perspective Syndrome (SLOPS
for short).
> <><>>>>>><<>><>><>>><><>>>><><><><>>>><>><><
Officials are warning travellers not to visit the UK, the US, almost all
Of Western Europe, and Canada, following further outbreaks of the disease,
which has led to mass panic among the media, thousands of ecstatic
children being kept out of school by their credulous and moronic parents
and increased profits for DIY stores as the idiot public rush to bulk-buy
face masks and boiler suits.

A WHO spokesman said, "You'd be much better off going to somewhere like
Thailand or China, because all you've got to worry about there is SARS,
and let's face it, you're about as likely to die from that as you are to
get kicked to death by a gang of zombie nuns."

The SARS virus has now claimed a staggering 500 lives in only six months,
which makes it considerably more deadly than, say, malaria, which only
kills around 3000 people every single day. Malaria, however, mainly
affects people that speak foreign, whereas SARS has made at least one
English person feel a bit iffy for a couple of days, and is therefore
considered much more serious.

The spread of SLOPS has now reached pandemic proportions, with many
high-level politicians seemingly affected by the disease. The rapid spread
of SLOPS has been linked to the end of the war in Iraq and the need for
Western leaders to give the public something to worry about. Otherwise,
they might start asking uncomfortable questions about domestic issues, and
that simply would not do.

The above courtesy an e-mail from a west coast friend today.
