VIRGINIA - The monkeypox epidemic can trace it's roots to a suburb of Virginia, and a freak encounter between human and monkeys. In order to fully understand the connection, we will trace the disease from it's current victims to it's origins.

Jimmy Weasel bought a cute lil' Prarie Dog at PHIL's Pet Shop in Sandusky Ohio. AFter the lil' rodent bit him, he recieved the deadly disease. The dog came from a shipment of about 100 P. Dogs from an animal dealer out of Florida. The dogs were infected by and AFrican Gambian Rat, which was also along on the shipment. This is where our story takes a strange turn.......

The Rat was infected by a squirrel named kleetn, who had escaped from the US and stowed away on a ship which ended up in Africa. There, Kleetn's squirrel made love to the rat, infecting it.

Where the squirrel got monkeypox is even more bizzare. According to sources, Kleetn's squirrel went of a backpacking trip in Virginia in early 2002. While on that trip, it was exposed to a troop of monkeys owned by backpackers Lyra and Tarp Rat. One of the monkeys (the host) had contracted the virus after accidently viewing Tarpy practicing difficult Kama Sutra moves with live-in-girlfriend Lyra. During the act, Tarpy was screaming (yeahhhhhh, monkey love baby!" severely confusing and stressing the monkey, thereby causing a genetic mutation in the dormant chicken pox virus within the monkeys body."



All I can say is... thanks Lyra and Tarpy, the blood of monkey pox victims is on your hands!

The best way to dispatch a prairie dog is with a corked bat.
