- BRIEF NEWS OF THE WORLD {December 29,1992}
-
- LITTLE ROCK --- Right before Christmas, President-elect Bill
- Clinton lost his voice, probably because of allergies to all the
- Christmas greenery at the Arkansas governor's mansion. The
- President-elect puts up with the allergies to get in the holiday
- spirit -- he "hangs pine garlands and mistletoe," but he was
- surprised they bothered him because he doesn't inhale. An aide said
- the allergies are "nothing to worry about," they just make the
- president-elect stuffed up and irritable. The future President was
- quoted as saying something like "I doad doe whad de fug yur talkin'
- aboud. I feel fide. I could negoadiate a tready. Bud off. Get owda
- here." Given how often he loses his voice, his aides say the
- President-elect is learning "an internationally understandable set of
- gestures," in case he has to negotiate when he is totally voiceless
- and cranky.
-
- In a related story, Clinton aides refused to explain why there
- is mistletoe hung over such odd locations as the secretarial pool,
- near the women's restroom, and on Gennifer Flower's automobile
- dashboard.

- ISRAEL --- The Israeli army announced that 10 of the Palestinians
- deported as suspected militant Muslim leaders were deported by
- mistake. The ten claimed to be women's hat designers who prefer plain
- cotton fabrics. The spokesperson called it a case of mistaken identity,
- and said the muslin milliners may return. The spokesperson said it
- would be inhuman to freeze and starve the exiled Muslims AND make
- them spend time with hat designers.

-
- SOUTHERN U.S. --- After 18 months and several dozen dead
- tropical birds, Frangelica MountDeHare has given up her life-long
- ambition to become a Flamingo dancer. Ms. MountDeHare had persisted
- despite the urging of friends that it was Flamenco dancing and that
- the birds did not make as good a clicking noise as castanets.

- # "And this just in...."
