14-2. We Interrupt This Chapter to BringYou This Important Message

CHAPTER 141/2 WE INTERRUPT THIS CHAPTER TO BRING YOU THIS IMPORTANT MESSAGE: "Hello, this is Chim-Chim Diaperbrains... er, I mean, this is Ingrid Ashley reporting for Eyewitness News. We have a late-breaking story about a tragic incident that is now occurring in the Pacific Northwest. "Police have just closed down the Li'l Wiseguy Novelty Company in Walla Walla, Washington. Apparently, this company has been selling very dangerous Hypno-Rings. We now take you live, via satellite, to our reporter, Booger Stinkersquirt, er, I mean, Larry Zarrow, with the latest developments."

"Thanks, Chim-Chim," said Larry. "Reports have poured in from all across the country concerning children who have used the 3-D Hypno-Ring on their friends and family with disastrous results. But the most shocking revelation is the effect that the rings seem to have on women. "Apparently, whenever the ring is used to hypnotize a woman, a mental blunder occurs, causing the woman to do the OPPOSITE of what she is being hypnotized to do. "Doctors don't know why the ring causes women to have an OPPOSITE reaction, but they are very concerned. If you or someone you love has purchased a 3-D Hypno-Ring, throw it away at once. And whatever you do, PLEASE DON'T USE IT ON A WOMAN!"
