  A serious problem has arisen along the main stem Columbia River
in the Pacific Northwest. Due to the dumping of effluent discharge
into the river by industrial entities, kayakers have not been reproducing
at their normal rate. If the current state of diminished reproductive rates
persists, kayakers will eventually go extinct. You can help by contacting
the EPA directly and demanding an investigation. Television news crews could
also expose this deplorable situation. Working together, we can reverse this
tragic trend, and once again have healthy vibrant populations of paddlers on
the water.

Perhaps you're just not TRYING hard enough.
Either way, I'd be happy to come on up from Southern Cal to help rectify the
problem; my boys swim just fine! No sense dealing with all that government
red tape.
