Washington, D.C. - Chaos ensued today as a maniacal clown, armed with a rubber chicken and a squirting flower, managed to trap a group of politicians in a funhouse. The incident occurred just as the White House was reacting to an extreme funding bill proposed by Congress.
Witnesses reported that the clown, who goes by the name "Joker the Jester," lured the unsuspecting politicians into the funhouse with promises of free cotton candy and unlimited rides on the Ferris wheel. Little did they know, they were about to become pawns in Joker's twisted game.
As the politicians entered the funhouse, they were immediately greeted by a barrage of confetti cannons and a cacophony of honking horns. Joker, dressed in a garish purple suit and a face full of garish makeup, cackled maniacally as he watched his captives stumble through the maze of mirrors and trap doors.
Meanwhile, back at the White House, officials were scrambling to respond to the extreme funding bill. The bill, which proposed allocating a significant portion of the budget to building a giant inflatable unicorn, had already caused quite a stir among lawmakers.
President Johnson, upon hearing the news of the clown incident, reportedly exclaimed, "You've got to be kidding me! First, a unicorn, and now we have clowns running amok? What's next, a circus in the Oval Office?"
While the politicians desperately tried to find their way out of the funhouse, Joker took the opportunity to taunt them with his comedic antics. He squirted water from his flower at their faces, honked his horn incessantly, and even unleashed a swarm of rubber chickens that chased them down the hallways.
Outside the funhouse, a crowd had gathered, both amused and horrified by the spectacle unfolding before their eyes. Some onlookers couldn't help but chuckle at the irony of politicians being trapped in a funhouse, while others expressed concern for their safety.
As the hours ticked by, negotiations between the White House and Congress reached a stalemate. President Johnson, growing increasingly frustrated, decided to take matters into his own hands. He ordered a team of elite negotiators to infiltrate the funhouse and rescue the trapped politicians.
After a daring rescue operation involving acrobatics, pie-throwing distractions, and a well-timed whoopee cushion, the politicians were finally freed from Joker's clutches. They emerged from the funhouse, disheveled and covered in silly string, but relieved to be out of harm's way.
As for Joker the Jester, he managed to escape capture, leaving behind only a trail of laughter and chaos. The incident served as a stark reminder that even in the serious world of politics, a little bit of humor can go a long way.
With the extreme funding bill temporarily put on hold and the politicians recovering from their funhouse ordeal, the nation can only hope that clowns and unicorns will no longer play a role in shaping its future.
