MUGS

Mugs drown in unsupervised bathing incident!

The bodies of 15 mugs were recovered today from a sink in Northallerton.  It is believed that all the victims drowned while attempting to bathe without human supervision.  A spokesperson from the scene said, “Mugs are like lemmings, all you need is one jumping into a sink full of water and before you know it the rest instinctively follow”.

Professor Toby Jug, a mug expert, claims “The lemming syndrome is not unknown among the mug population, though never in my career have I heard of such an enormous tragedy.  Mugs have no individual cognitive function, so have no insight into their lack of buoyancy”.

A representative from the mug welfare organisation ‘B.E.A.K.E.R.’ said, “clearly this calls for legislation.  No mug should be left near water unattended.  When soiled, a mug should be washed and dried by a human being.  If a clean mug is to be left unattended, then it must be placed in a safe cupboard”.

The Shadow Minister for Catering, Mr J. Cloth said, “This is a tragedy and an outrage!  The Government must address the needs of mugs and increase the powers of mug wardens to prosecute mug abusers”.
