HURRICANE NAMING
Mike McGovern, a writer, objected to having a destructive hurricane named after his sweet niece, Emily. So in next day's NY Times, he submitted the following list of more appropriate hurricane names and how these storms might behave:
HURRICANE CLINTON - Moves right, then left again
HURRICANE POWELL - Heads directly for the White House
HURRICANE BUSH - Completely misses Middle America
HURRICANE PEROT - Small but annoying
HURRICANE DOLE - Eliminates roads, bridges and schools; spares only Kansas
HURRICANE MADONNA - Leaves clothes strewn everywhere
HURRICANE OPRAH - Gets smaller, then bigger again
HURRICANE WALLACE - Hard-hitting but lasts only 60 minutes
HURRICANE HEIDI - Blows the lid off Hollywood studios
HURRICANE JORDAN - Stops abruptly at its peak
HURRICANE DYKSTRA - Devastates Atlanta and Toronto
HURRICANE FOREMAN - Devours everything in sight
HURRICANE STEINBRENNER - Threatens to move towards New Jersey
HURRICANE TRUMP - Uproots giant maples
HURRICANE BUTTAFUOCO - Hits Long Island high schools
