Description

Strange reports have been surfacing in Southern California today. Sightings of fire hydrants in the most unusual places have been reported to the police, city councils and especially to the fire department. Jon Palmer had this to say, "Well, I was surfing. There was this absolutely stunner of a wave coming right for me. I haven't seen one that big since...What? Oh yeah, well anyway, I felt something nudge my board and then I saw this red head. And I swear, it turned and looked at me. Well, after I caught that wave, I went straight in and told the authorities." These ordinary looking fire hydrants have also been spotted moving across lawns, according to Mrs. Finkelspout, who said, "I was out weeding the bed and I kept thinking I saw something red, out of the corner of my eye, like. I looked around and there was a fire hydrant right next to the geraniums. I looked around to find George and when I looked back, dang if it wasn't over next to the shed. That ain't right. Fire hydrants shouldn't ought to do that. So I went in and gave my council woman a right talking to." The Haskervar's house was burn to the ground, when twice fireman prepared to attach their hoses to a fire hydrant, only to have it give a shrill shriek and escape into the distance. Fortunately no one was harmed in the blaze, though Mr Haskervar stated, "I intend to sue, just as soon as I can figure out who to sue! Since many of the pseudo fire hydrants were seen leaving the ocean, it is believed that they are aliens whose ship has crashed into the sea. All citizens are asked to keep a look out. Any fire hydrants that don't appear to be in there customary spot, should be recorded, preferably photographed and the information given to local authorities. HAPPY BIRTHDAY HARRY!
