A TROPICAL STORM which is gathering
strength off the coast of Florida will tonight
be upgraded to Hurricane status.
The ferocity of the storm is expected to
reach unprecedented levels when it hits the
coast.
'We couldn't, in all conscience, give it
another panty-waist name like Marjorie or
Dwayne' said a representative from the
Department of Calling Hurricanes Stuff.
'Even the tougher names like Chuck and
Doris won't really do it justice. We had to
think of something that people really hate,
that'll send them running for the hills in
blind panic.'
'We had a bit of a sit down, and the one
thing we could all agree we hated more than
anything else was a manky, murky, horrid
cup of warm beer. It was a no-brainer.'
'The only real problem is that calling it
Hurricane Warm Beer might piss it off.'
