Homeland Security - A Legend?

2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

AN SUES TOM RIDGE OVER DUCT TAPE FEARS

Corona, CA - Tom Ridge's advice to Americans to stock up on duct tape and

plastic has sparked a lawsuit which has been filed against him, the

Department of Homeland Security, and President George W. Bush.

Steven J. Bosell, the owner of B & B Construction in Corona, California, has filed a

lawsuit claiming emotional distress, personal injury and sexual dysfunction

after he wrapped his "privates" in duct tape to protect them from a

biological attack. "After watching Mr. Ridge on television advising us to

stock up on duct tape and plastic, I went to the local Costco and bought $100

worth of duct tape to protect myself," Bosell said. "When I got home, I taped

up my windows and doors. After I did that I realized if survivors like myself

are going to reproduce and populate the Earth after a biological attack, we

have to protect our privates as well."

Bosell claimed in his lawsuit he

wrapped his "privates" in duct tape as test of "Homeland Security". When he

tried to remove the tape, Bosell injured himself when the tape began peeling

off skin and body hair. After calling an ambulance, Bosell was taken to the

hospital where the doctors and nurses laughed at him. "I told the doctors and

nurses at the hospital if they laughed, I would file a lawsuit against them

and the hospital. They laughed anyways and I now have another lawsuit

pending" Bosell said with tears streaming down his face. "They went out their

way to make me look like a fool. Once I saw the doctors scalpel go toward my

privates, I totally lost it and blacked out".

Also named in the lawsuit is

the President of the United States, George W. Bush. "President Bush is just

as liable for injury to my reproductive future because he hired Mr. Ridge to

run the Department of Homeland Security and Mr. Ridge gave the nation bad

advice. They also make me look like a fool." Bosell sobbed. The Department of

Homeland Security and the Bush Administration have no comment on Mr. Bosell's

lawsuit.

We can only hope that this man's reproductive capabilities HAVE indeed been

'curbed'!
