GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCES Y2K SOLUTION
But 'LITTLE ALBERT' finds a Fly in the Ointment!
Washington ACDC- (Peuters) The White House announced today the solution to the Y2K bug.
In a moment that can only be described as historical, the administration unveiled an intricate plan to go to Century Savings Time (CST). At precisely 11:59 PM, 12/31/1999, all clocks will be turned back to 11:59 PM, 12/31/1899.
As might be expected, the announcement received a partisan reaction. Democrats lauded the plan and were quick to point out that this is exactly what the American people want because recent polls undisputedly show that 76% of Americans are in favor of a solution to the Y2K bug. Republicans, on the other hand, were outraged, as they supposed that this was merely another White House ploy to derail the impeachment hearing. Political pundits report that this is a real possibility since, in the legal sense, the President would not have committed any crimes yet and the Senate would have to wait another hundred years to proceed.
But the plan began to unravel when a six year old, fondly called 'Little Albert' asked in a town meeting, "Wouldn't this unleash the Year 1900 bug?" This sent the White House scrambling and no official response has been forthcoming. Sources close to the White House report that the administration is considering various strategies to discredit the young prodigy. One rumor, which has surfaced, is that 'Little Albert' has said the filthiest of four letter words, g--r. For those that remember, this is the same rumor which destroyed 'Little Milton' back in the seventies. The administration has repeatedly denied allegations that it started the rumor.
Surprisingly, 'Little Albert' appears to be taking all this in stride. When asked why, he responded, "The centuries will come, the centuries will go, and in time, most will be forgotten; however, Mr Clinton will be remembered for eternity as the most infamous, g--r President of all time." |
