Seeing the success of the Students Protesting Against Masks (SPAM) protest march, another group of gripers formed to rally against the mask-wearing requirement.  The Citizens Lobbying Against Masks (CLAM) are an older throng of unhappy campers, claiming that masks make it difficult to breathe, and fog up their reading glasses.  Furthermore, they say that they heard that masks do not help ward off the virus anyway, since a virus is so small that it could easily pass through the weave.   A number of protestors took off their masks, and used their BBQ grille lighters to set them on fire, to the cheer of the crowd.

Mid-way through the rally, one of the protestors started wildly coughing, almost as if hacking up a lung.  This sent the other protestors into a screamy panic.  Some flopped down flat on the ground and buried their faces in the grass.  Others dashed away, and climbed trees to get away from the estimated 16 million germs expelled by the coughing maniac.  One person put on his charred mask and burnt his face.  A nearby taco truck closed his windows, packed it up, and moved across town, with condiments flying every which way as he sped off.

About one hour later, a professor from nearby Bumfunk College, who had been part of the CLAM rally earlier, took some measurements of the air at Ground Zero, and announced all was clear, and the rally could continue.  Unfortunately, by that time, everyone had gone home to shower down.

By the end of the day, the cougher had been tested for COVID, and results came out negative for the virus.  The CLAM organizer stated that she was happy and relieved at the test result, and planned to restage the protest rally, possibly next month.  She said they would do a better job screening participants to exclude any “cougher types” next time.

At a time when protests have become the norm, a new group calling themselves Students Protesting Against Masks (SPAM) has organized a march to the cheers and jeers of various onlookers.  SPAM is a collection of young people who are refusing to wear COVID virus masks, in defiance of rules and guidance for mask use in public spaces.

The young people say that masks are ugly, even the ones that have bling or hip decorations to try and make them look attractive.  Some claim that the dating scene has totally dried-up because of the ugly factor.  They say that the ugly factor makes gorgeous people look like scummy thugs… not to mention people with below-average looks in the first place.

They do not care that their misbehavior increases the likelihood that the Corona crisis will escalate and go on for a longer period of time if people, like them, don’t take proper safety precautions.

“We care about the NOW,” a SPAM spokesperson blurted out, “not what may or may not happen months from now.  If we have to bury ourselves in the sand for 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, or even a year, our lives will be pure dog piss.  That is unstomachable.  Masks are history.”

The spokesperson put his mask back on, then ripped it off in some kind of show of anger.  Most onlookers thought the guy looked better with the mask on, since it hid his complexion problems and oversized shnoz.
