The Cook Country Contortion Clinic in Skokie, IL was the target of a bomb attack early Sunday morning. The perpetrators behind the bombings have been called "twisted" by County Chief Clarence Christopher, as have the victims.

Misguided Right-wing Extremist Bombs Contortion Clinic
Body Count Impossible To Ascertain In Blow To Misunderstood Performers

11/4/03 - A disturbed Jesus freak with a history of irrational behavior and poor vision firebombed a contortion clinic yesterday, inadvertently sending a message to contortionists across the nation that they will not be tolerated any longer.

"Well - he's an idiot," said one neighbor. "He's into that Left Behind armageddon cult and he's always ranting and raving about Jesus. But you know what? I'm not really too fond of contortionists myself."

Because of the wide number of people exhibiting a combination of ignorance and right-wing extremism, lame entertainers and gymnasts around the country have been cautioned to be alert should they continue to perform contortions of any kind - even partial lurch contortions - which may soon be banned under a new law.

In related news on the same terribly lame joke:

Bush Approves Partial Lurch Contortion Bill

11/3/03
- President Bush approved a complete ban on partial lurch contortions, saying Americans were "not yet ready for a ban on total contortions." He did, however, remark that "they damn well will be with time."

Though contortions are still legal, the partial lurch contortion is a special case. Many legal and medical experts consider a partial lurch to be "misleading", "sneaky", and "downright dangerous." In fact, Pat Robertson calls them "a total affront to God."

Athletes, including gymnasts, boxers, and baseball players who aren't fat slobs, protest the move, saying that making all lurching contortions illegal would be disastrous for their careers.

"What really constitutes a partial contortion?" asked a nameless major league baseball player. "If I'm leading off first a certain way, am I guilty? What about when I fake a bunt?"

Mimes were also protesting en masse at the capital, insisting that confining their body work to only certain types of contortions was damaging to their livelihoods. Many insisted that they will continue to perform all sorts of contortions - including partial lurch contortions - no matter what the government says.

"They have no right to tell me what to do with my body!" said one mute anti-American street mime, using very confrontational sign language.
