Funny hurricane names joke

#1 Postby hurricanetrack » Wed Mar 08, 2006 11:27 pm

This was found on the StormTrack.org website and is 100% funny and 100% a joke:

SILVER SPRING, MD—The National Weather Service announced Friday that, in response to the increasing number of hurricanes, it is revising its naming system. "The hundreds of hurricanes we expect in the North Atlantic in 2006 will receive both proper and surnames," Max Mayfield of the weather service said. "In fact, tropical storms Alberto Fergus, Beverly Stenwick-Brown, and Chris Stubbs Jr. have already received names under the new system." After all possible first and last names are exhausted, storms will be given titles, beginning with Hurricane Assistant Accounts Manager Alexander Epps, CPA.



That's the kind of humor that I like.

Oops. It is funny though. You know the Australians would name cyclones after their ex-wives....or so the legend goes.
