City votes on same socks marriage

 
US city Norlgat Carpetsalsa is voting tonight on legalising same socks marriage despite fervent opposition from some quarters.

It's the thin end of the wedge, said Senator Barking Fruitilli. If we allow people to marry wearing the same socks, what next? They'll want matching cardigans; sweatshirts where the text is only readable when they stand close together; shell suits of the same colour. 

But others say it is about time same socks marriage was celebrated.  

So what if a couple wants to get married wearing the same socks? asked Rev Fatswallah P Dinglebutt. It means they have to stand very close together: that's romantic. I can't see what the objection is.

Resorts send snow to skiers

Ski resorts have begun delivering snow by helicopter direct to skiers' homes in a move designed to protect the mountains from the environmental impacts of winter sports enthusiasts. Although it is a massive undertaking, say Sled Piler of the Alpine Resorts Institute, it works our more environmentally friendly to take the snow to each skier rather than flying all the skiers and their equipment to the mountains.  Former British downhill champion Barg Matipsonfire commented: It's great to have your own individual snow but my garden is completely flat and it appears to be too warm to keep the skiing surface in tip top condition.

Duck for president bid fails

A last minute third-candidate bid for US President from Daffy Duck failed when it emerged he was born in Kenya. Ridicule is the burden of genius, Mr Duck commented. Can you imagine anything so ridiculous as majority rule? Meanwhile, Americans are left with a choice between the lesser of two evils. Polls have the voters balanced neck-and-neck between a president who is useless and a a president who is bonkers. American democracy is a beautiful thing, said one passer-by we latched on to in Washington DC. It just shows that anyone can become president who can raise a billion dollars in campaign funds. A spokesperson for the American Institute of Total Warfare which represents the arms industry said We haven't really made up our minds yet. We've been impressed by how much money President Obama has spent in warfare but we're wondering what we can achieve if we put a real looney in charge.   Photo by Kris Mikael Krister on Unsplash
