PLYMOUTH, MA (AIP) – Manufacturer Rockaway Inc, world’s largest and oldest producer of boughs, has announced a recall of its 2015 Sierra model bough after 15 infants have suffered injury and three died in the last seven months.
“It’s about time these monsters did the right thing and got the Sierra off the shelves,” said consumer advocate James Vanderpelt. “It’s is inherently dangerous and in some cases deadly.”
In all 18 cases of injury or death in the last seven months, the Rockaway Sierra boughs have broken, causing the cradle and the baby contained within to fall.
Rockaway has agreed to the recall, but defends its product.
“There are clear warnings on all our products as to proper installation and usage,” said Rockaway spokesman Charles Deleo. “They are not to be used higher than 15 feet above the ground; cradles are not to be placed on our boughs if winds higher than 25 knots are expected. If customers ignore the warning labels, babies are going to die.
“Baby cradle riding on boughs is an extreme sport, like baby skydiving or baby cave diving, and not for the amature infant. Some of these dead babies didn't have the necessary skill set to cradle ride. Some of them attempted to use our product in dangerous weather conditions just for the thrill of it.”
Parents of the victims disagree.
“My baby was an extreme sports aficionado: an ice climber, a paraglider” said Marci Rosenberg, whose 6-month old baby Willie was killed when the bough he was riding broke. “He knew what he was doing. The equipment failed him. Rockaway failed him.
"I had to stand there and watch the bough break and the cradle fall. It came down, baby and all."
Babies “R” Us is offering a full refund to all customers who have purchased the 2015 Sierra Model.

Vice President Arrested Again
NEW YORK (AIP) – Vice President Joseph Biden was arrested Thursday by New York City Police after base jumping from the 86th floor of the Empire State Building, when his parachute strings got tangled in a light post.
“It was fucking awesome,” said Biden, while being led away by police to be booked in. “It was the best rush in the whole fucking world.”
Biden, who has a history of base jumping from tall building around the country, was unrepentant.
“It’s the rush,” said Biden. “There’s nothing else like it this side of cocaine.”
Biden was previously arrested and charged with trespassing after base jumping from the Statue of Liberty.
“I was wearing a Go Pro on that jump,” said Biden. “You ought to see the footage. It still takes my breath away.”
Biden was released after posting a $50 bond.

Barton's Streak Ends
TAMPA (AIP) – Robert Barton had no answers when questioned by reporters Thursday about why he didn’t attend happy hour at the Twisted Soul on Wednesday evening, bringing to an end his national record of 1182 consecutive evenings ‘having a couple’ after work.
“I don’t know what came over me,” said Barton, whose clear eyes and lack of hand tremors stunned co-workers at the Milton Heart Stint Factory on Dale Mabry. “I just thought that I’d like to go home and maybe make some dinner and watch TV.
“It’s funny because up until this morning I thought everyone just naturally came to work and vomited in the second floor bathroom.”
Barton’s streak of slightly over three years attending happy hour every work night – evenings that rarely ended before midnight – broke the old record held by Martin Clay of Tupelo, MS., who posted 964 consecutive evenings in the late 90’s. Fans agree that Barton’s accomplishment – he has been and is still employed – far outshines the unemployed Clay’s achievement.
“Once I got home yesterday I was surprised to find that I got basically the same channels on my living room TV that they have down at Twisted,” said Barton. “There were some people in my apartment when I got there and it took me about an hour to recognize them as my wife and daughter.”
Barton’s neighbor, Angela McCormick, called police when she saw him enter his apartment Wednesday at 5:30 p.m...
“I had never seen him before,” said McCormick. “I thought he was a burglar.”

Ask Heloise
Hey Heloise,
I am part of a student group at Brown University that will be traveling to the Levant this summer for our class in ancient history. I have been told by others that it’s considered ‘bad form’ and offensive to the locals to apply hair gel or pomade on the morning when I will be decapitated. Is this correct?
Perplexed in Providence.
Dear Perplexed,
What you’ve heard is correct. Hair gel, pomade and wax are all considered no no’s on the morning of your beheading by ISIS. The native fighters are highly offended by such products.
From a practical point of view hair gel and the like cause the hair to become slippery, making it harder for your executioner to grip the scalp while sawing away at the throat. If you feel compelled to wear any hair product, I would recommend a quality mousse, which increases the volume of your hair and gives the executioner better control of your skull.
Enjoy your class trip.

DHS Issues New Travel Restrictions
WASHINGTON (AIP) - In light of the most recent attempt to blow up a commercial airliner - the bungled attempt by so-called ‘Breakfast Bomber’ Sami el Am - the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has ordered all transportation companies including airlines, trains, subways and buses to stop selling green eggs and ham to travelers.
“You cannot get them on a plane, you cannot get them on a train,” said DHS spokesman Martin Leverock. “You cannot purchase green eggs and ham. You cannot purchase them because of Sami el Am.”
In August of this year el Am boarded a commercial flight originating in London and while in route to Washington’s Reagan National Airport attempted to ignite what appeared to be a normal breakfast of green eggs and ham but was in fact military grade explosive HMX, fashioned to look like breakfast and smuggled onto the plane by accomplices. Passengers thwarted his attempt.
On Thursday airlines scrambled to find replacement breakfasts for hungry passengers.
“Green eggs and ham have been the nation’s number one breakfast food for generations,” said Southwest Airlines vice president Carolyn Jackson. “This new regulation is really going to anger our customers.”

Addison Chair Makes Breakthrough
DETROIT (AIP) – The Addison Chair Company has announced a breakthrough in office chair technology that will lock the chairs swivel mechanism, keeping the seat turned in the precise position that the last user left it until the user returns.
“Thank goodness scientists have finally found a way to keep the chair in place,” said Sixth Circuit Senior Court Clerk Kelli Martinez. “I have hated standing up to swear witnesses in and then sitting back down only to catch the chair arm in the crack of my ass. The damn thing swivels when I stand up. It’s embarrassing and annoying and sometimes pretty painful.”
Addison lead researcher Max Thorton is proud of his team’s the breakthrough.
“This is going to be particularly helpful to those court clerks who suffer from hemorrhoids,” said Thorton.

Apple offers New Valentine App
CUPERTINO, CA (AIP) Apple Incorporated has a new smart phone App that will be ready in time for Valentine’s Day this Saturday. The App allows the smart phone user to send his or her ex-paramour a faux instant message that causes the former lover to feel the incredible despair and emptiness that the App user felt when that lying bitch or bastard dumped them.
“It’s really an amazing application,” said Apple spokesman Stuart Mixton. “When the target opens the message you’ve sent, which isn't a text message at all but a cutting edge, psycho-electronic mind altering, military grade attack application, they are immediately plunged into a depressed night of the dark soul that the sender experienced for months after the target betrayed him or her."
Developed by recently jilted and revenge seeking 19-year old Chad Michaels of Pennington Gap, VA, who still can't come out of his room, the application allows the user to send an instant message to the asshole that lied about the depth of their feelings and their commitment to the former relationship.
The application transmits the message, which defeats the call block that the jerk has placed on your incoming calls and texts, searches the target’s cell to find the phone number of the new love of their life and makes its malevolent electronic package appear to come from that phone number.
“When the target opens the text, they are emotionally destroyed for up to four hours,” said Mixton. “They don’t feel like eating or going to work. They simply can’t face the day. All they really want to do is sit in their bedroom and listen to Creed and Air Supply and cry uncontrollably.”
