It was a typical American town, with track homes, a shopping mall, fast food chains, a Walmart surrounded by huge parking lot and a dead down town. One thing that was unique in Hoboken, Oregon was the Acme whipped cream factory. Yesterday, a terrible explosion rocked the Acme whipped cream factory and buried the entire town seven to ten feet deep in whipped cream. Perhaps hundreds of people have died in this terrible tragedy. Emergency crews are still digging through thick whipped cream trying to find survivors. The whipped cream is getting stiff and rescue workers are giving up hope that the many people still buried under the thick mass of whipped cream will survive.
Already, a day after this terrible event, as the whipped cream hardens survivors and others are saying, “Leave the whipped creamed buried town to be as a monument to the future!” So exclaimed Mayor Jelbert McStunkoil. Yesterday he climbed out of the cream and went to work leading the rescue effort. But a day later McStunkoil said, “There is little hope of finding more people in the giant mass of whipped cream. Let us leave the whipped cream like it is as a tribute to victims of this terrible tragedy. One day Hoboken, Oregon, perhaps a thousand years hence will be what Pompeii is now. The citizens of Hoboken will not have died in vain.” A crowd of people, many with whipped creamed smeared clothes, cheered the mayor.
“Citizens!” proclaimed another person in the crowd at the center of rescue worker who gathered around the mayor. “There is nothing like what happened here since Mount Vesuvius buried Pompeii in the days of ancient Rome. Future archaeologists will marvel at the ruins they dig up here.”
“Nonsense! What about the wide assortment of consumer items that are value priced at Walmart? Future generations will really be impressed after they dig that stuff up. Maybe the whipped cream preserved cars will also interest people a thousand years from now. ”
