Parliament has sought out Larry Storch, Forrest Tucker and the girl who plays Ken Berry's romantic interest to address the blur of pandemonium surrounding the sticky situation now festering with chaotic frenzy gripping the globally warmed, heated to complete confusion, riot-torn northern nation. Following a hunch sheathed in turmoil, the shaken but still standing Chamber has summoned all women named Jane to report immediately to the fallen lookout tower now in ruins despite the fear that has devastated the once proud sovereign maple syrup producing domain. Women named Olivia are to remain sheltered in place during the 'hot as a hot knife through butter' clamor and turbulence.

Someone may be following you, too. Stay calm.

Aunt Jem... -- er, I mean Pearl Milling Company -- better step up its production of the fake stuff.

Unfortunately the supply of high fructose corn syrup has reached Biblical proprtions.

[From Allen at Division:]

Can't they tap the Strategic Syrup Reserve?...

[Bullwinkle]

That's what happens when you start putting taps on the telephone poles.

O the humanity! I blame those terrorist poutine eaters.

Can't you just dilute it with bourbon?

@ cfjk
"Why yes, yes you can."

@rtg Plus the added benefit extending the supply of pancake batter.

[Jimmy Swaggart]

Any news on the reserve of Jim Bakker pancake mix?

[Tammy Fay]

That was just my make-up, not pancake batter.

Sorry. I've just got to shotgun a pint now and then.
