Here's an editorial from The Onion (online newspaper--all silly satire!!) that will give some of you a laugh (the others, including all the teachers, will cry!):

Bert Limbec's picture on The Onion's page should tell you a lot. He appears to have inhaled too many dust bunnies while trying to snort the cracks on the floor of his efficiency apartment in the heart of Doobyville, Illinois. Everyone knows those dust bunnies cause cobwebs in the brain - wink

Just one look at the "language" he's using will tell you it's not Spanish, but from an exotic island located somewhere in the South Pacific, where Gilligan, The Skipper, and Marianne are waiting to be rescued.

Cowabunga, moogoogipan, hulahoop, whoopie doop! eek

If Bert reads the previous sentence, he'll understand what it means! laugh
