Falwell demands end of the word 'honky'

LYNCHBURG, Va. -- The Rev. Jerry Falwell and a group of white comedians today demanded an end to the use of the word "honky," which they said carried mystical harming powers.

"Like the Number of the Beast, of which the Lord hath prophesied, the H-word contains dark and mysterious powers, powers capable of seducing, enslaving, and slaughtering us all," Falwell said. "And it hurts my feelings."

White comedian Wentworth Farthington said he'd never understood the power of the H-word until he used it on an old high school friend.

"I just said, 'What's up, honky?' and he burst into flames, smited by Satan himself right there on the sidewalk!" Farthington said. "That word is waaaaaaaaaay too dangerous to keep in the lexicon. Though, I have to admit, I did use it one last time. On my ex-girlfriend's cat."

Falwell and the comedians demanded an immediate cessation of all use of the H-word, removal of it from all dictionaries, thesauri, and encyclopedias, and that God smite Jesse Jackson.

I stated this earlier but it evidently didnt enter "comments".......I agree that the word "HONKEY" with it's racist connotations should be eliminated from usage,however it is still perfectly acceptable to continue using the formal and Old English word,...HONKRO
