“Look what the sun’s done to that! It’s all warped and melted!”

“Wow, yes. The sunlight is hot! Just standing in it is so warming!”

“Don’t stand in it, dude!”

“Why not? It’s perfecfnjg smff. Wsds goong oon?”

“Aargh! Your face! It’s hideous! It’s melted off!” bleurgh… bleurgggghhhhh!

 

Disappearing zone layer. Global warming. It’s here. It’s now!

Do you want your face to melt off? You can help!

Send a donation to us, the Campaign Against Sun Heating, or CASH for short.

      “Entrepreneur” – that’s a very charitable term for these chaps!

    Maybe using PayPal would be a good idea…at least that way you can always get a refund if the “purchase” fails to impress 😀

    I immediately wrote a check to CASH for one million dollars. But as soon as I ripped it out of the book…… POOF! Into flames. Oh well, I guess I can’t make a difference…

    Har! Har! CASH is real. There are people who believe we must not use solar power as we could end up draining the Sun of its energy.

      It’s okay though, if you have power stored up you can switch your solar panels from “suck” to “blow” and send all the energy back to the sun 🙂

    Sounds like a great cause. Before I donate, I need to see how the money is spent to prevent my face from melting. Not too much to ask, right? 🙂

    Congratulations on 100 FFs. I have no idea how many I’ve written.
    Of course that fact that I keep taking time off because I’m too tired to write doesn’t help.
    Never the less I should count.
    Sorry I don’t have cash for CASH. But when I do have the cash, I’m buying a winter coat.

      100 word story – I’ve done years of FF, I must be up between 400 and 500 by now! That’s quite a thought 🙂
      A winter coat sounds a better way to spend you cash than sending it to these jokers!
