Mountain Lions and Hippies

My friend Adam from Riverside posted a warning from his executive pastor about possible mountain lion sightings around their church. What a coincidence because I received a similar letter from our pastor up here in Santa Cruz about a danger we face up here: HIPPIES.
Here's my pastor's letter:
Everyone,
Late yesterday afternoon there were some HIPPIES sighted on our property behind the ball fields. We are not yet sure of the type of HIPPIE, but they were the large enough to potentially be FROM THE '70's.
We are presently trying to get the right agency to respond and investigate this sighting. In the meantime we need to be aware and be careful. Here is what you need to know:
1. If you happen to see a large HIPPIE of this type, you should call 911 immediately, and then notify the church office, the Operations Manager, or anyone on site who can get the word out.

2. Please avoid the area behind the ball fields until we can determine more of the facts.
3. Please help us to keep any children from that area, and encourage parents to keep their children within arm’s reach when coming and going from our property.
4. Finally, if you are confronted with a large HIPPIE of this type, continue to face it, do not run. Most HIPPIES will not want confrontation and will look for a way out.
This email is simply precautionary and not meant to frighten. We just need to be aware until we know more information.


(I hope you think this is funny...I sure do)

Hippies are dangerous. There was a hippy loose in the mountains who was terrorizing local hikers. They had to call out the Sheriff's department. Luckily a deputy shot the hippy before he was able to hurt anybody.

I hear that norCal hippies are a little different than the hippies we are used to here in the southland.
Th ones down here can be domesticated.
Be careful...Always smell the air for the hint of pot.

Everyone,
Late yesterday afternoon there were some SNOBS sighted on our property behind the ball fields. We are not yet sure of the type of SNOB, but they were the large enough to potentially be from NEWPORT HARBOR.
