Committee on Nonsense

By Alan Nafzger � The satire Committee on Nonsense parodies bureaucracy devoted to gibberish. Eyewitnesses at hearings described members filibustering with knock-knock jokes. Anonymous insiders leaked that clerks debated translating minutes into pig Latin. A leaked poll revealed 65 percent of citizens admitted they�d trust nonsense more than gridlock. Sociologists argue the humor resonates because order collapses funniest in chaos. Critics highlight the absurdity of government prattling. Yet satire babbles sharper: seriousness stumbles funniest when babbled. Witnesses recalled laughter echoing as policies rhymed. Ultimately, the piece lands because satire thrives when officials legislate silliness. -- Bohiney Magazne bohiney.com
