The Hurricane Between The Ears

2008 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

While the name Fay doesn't strike fear into the minds of many people, after all how many Fays do you know that have a violent record? Now put the word "Hurricane" in front of Fay and that's a different story. In fact put "Hurricane" in front of anything and it sounds dangerous (i.e.Hurricane Bobo, Hurricane Fluffy, Hurricane FiFi) but some of the fully unevolved see the word "Hurricane" as a substitute for the word "fun". This despite the fact that emergency officials had warned south Floridians TO SEEK SHELTER!!!

This is the case with an unevolved man in Florida who decided that "Fun Fay" would be a load of fun and so he ran off and grabbed his kite surfing gear?!

This was, as everyone reading this knows, a bad idea. Strike that. A really bad idea. Wait strike that too. Borderline proof that no gray matter exists between the ears and that the hurricane winds blew the tiny amount of gray matter that existed out of his cavernous noggin and let the idea form in there amidst the swirling winds.

Well, believe it or not, he ended up in the hospital.

"The kite boarder was harnessed into his sail when the wind violently picked him up and slammed him onto the sandy beach. Then, he was dragged across the sand before being lifted up into the air again and blown across the street where the wind slammed him into a building."

So with any luck this Cro-Magnon man who let the wind between his ears rule his tiny, tiny mind will never spawn and will add a little more chlorine to the gene pool.

Staying inside during a hurricane. So easy a caveman could do it.
