MysteryMan Subpoenaed by Parliamentary Committee

Ottawa, April 1, 2009 - An Ottawa-base blogger, who goes by the handle of MysteryMan, appeared in front of parliamentary finance committee this morning to answer charges that he claims to know what to do about the current Canadian economic mess but refuses to elaborate on his ideas.

Nepean Carleton Con MP, Perfect PP, led off the questioning by demanding to know the real identity of MysteryMan.  "Unless we know exactly who you are, how are we going to ruin your reputation?" demanded PP.  MysteryMan responded with a quiet, "Piss off, PP."  The response drew gasps of horror from the MP and guffaws from his colleagues and the press.  Not to be upstaged, PP then demanded that MysteryMan remove the Clark Gable mask he was wearing.  MysteryMan responded with,"What mask?  This is how I look after I shower.  You should try it once in a while."

The thrust and parry went back and forth between the two individuals for almost 15 minutes, at the end of which PP, completely frustrated and almost weeping, asked the chairperson for a 25 minute adjournment.  The chairperson, responded with, "Piss off, PP."

April Fool's.
