BLOWBACK HITS MUTTON BOARD
[HUGO BLOWBACK]
Violence erupted today in the Mutton Board Room when
Chairman Hugo Blowback, incensed by perceived encouragement
of the ongoing campus protests, hurled a lectern at a piano,
causing the piano to collapse, slightly injuring two board
members.
Outside in the summer rain, several dozen protesters
chanted, "New Zealand, Australia, Greece, Uruguay, and Ireland!"

"It's my Mutton, New Zealand" said Ran Dankleson, a student
activist. "These countries think they can pull the wool over
us. Southdown rams with Romney ewes and suddenly our
university is being sold."
Mutton has been under siege since it was revealed that the
long lionized college has received substantial financial
assistance from the agricultural trade bureaus of New
Zealand, Australia, Greece, Uruguay, and Ireland.
Whether Blowback will remain at Mutton is unclear. Witnesses
to today's incident reported that Blowback received medical
attention along with two injured colleagues.
