Dear Citizens:
April 1st
In order to find out more about my more conservative friends I visited Francis and Marion McFox who live at the end of the block. Their two story house is neat and tidy with a yellow "Don't tread on the McFoxes" snake flag flying from the porch. Their house is set back almost in our local swamp..
I rang the doorbell but no one answered.
"Psst", whispered a voice from their back yard, "We are here."
(The rest of this interview was held in the McFoxes bunker in the swamp)
"Hi folks why are you hiding in this bunker?"
"Dark times my friend" Both Francis and Marion said.
"Why is that, no candles?"
"They have stolen the country and we must get it back."
"What?"
"Did you notice the word God has been taken out of the Constitution?"
"Well I never thought it was there in the first place."
"Oh Yes, all through it and we want it back in." cried Francis.
"We have started the 1st Patriotic Confederate--Union Zouaves Militia." said Marion, "They will have to listen to us now!"
"Nice uniform, I like the red pantaloons." I said.
"We got a deal on 100 pair of them at a army surplus store." Said Marion, "We will add blue and grey tunics and then we can march into Washington on April 15th."
"Can we count on you?"
"Not today, I have to go to a tea party or finish my taxes."
"Be careful out there--they are all around.' They cautioned as I left.
"You're absolutely right about that."
A number a little men in white coats carrying nets where coming down the street as I left.
"Which house belongs to the McFoxes?
"The one on the right!"
Be well and careful out there
