Nauru Refugees Solve That Lip Problem
2003-12-11
A number of refugees on Nauru had gone on an indefinite hunger strike, some sewing their lips together, to coincide with world Human Rights Day, a refugee advocate said today. Hassan Ghulam, president of the Hazara Ethnic Society of Australia, said the refugees, including some children, wanted to stage a non-violent protest to highlight their plight. He said he had received a phone call from one of the Nauru refugees today, telling him of the hunger strike.
"Hello?"
"Muuufffhhhmm!"

#3  If this becomes another piercing craze in the US, how will we know whether the drive through guy is giving us our total, asking us to biggie size our fries or suggesting a dessert?
