FULLER’S FOLLIES
BY AL FULLER
Hooray! our world is saved!
At least for another few thou
sand years.
I’ve gotten gray haired and all
shook-up worrying about this
horrifying thing called “popu
lation explosion” when suddenly
someone comes up with a very
simple solution.
Now we don’t have to worry
and longer. It’ll be a long, long
time now before people are
gasping for air like guppies in
a hot tank..
The solution? Like I said, it’s
simple: COMPACT PEOPLE!
Mrs. Julia Morton pint-sized
herself, is a botanist at the
University of Miami. She’s
come up with this theory and
told about it during a conver
sation with Dr. Paul Mangels
dorf, author of “Standing Room
Only,” a book about population
explosion.
In this book, the author states
that in the year 2076 we’d
not be starving to death, but
squeezed to death.
Dr. Mangelsdorf said that
over-doses of calcium have re
sulted in a big-boned progeny.
“The only thing that’s kept us
from developing into a race
of ungainly giants is that tall
girls have a hard time find
ing husbands and often end up
marrying short men. Tall men
almost always marry shorter
girls.”
Food manufacturers are dum
ping tons of minerals and vita
mins into everything we eat and
drink. People are so full of
iron these days it’s a wonder
they don’t break out with rust
scale.

tion, the state of the roads could be greatly im
proved and the taxpayers given the satisfaction of
seeing some of the benefits resulting from their
taxes. If lam elected I will most certainly co-opcr- *
ate with the other Commissioners and with the City
Managers and governments to hard surface roads
and streets and as quickly as possible. Various »
bridges around the county are badly in need of
repair, indeed, some need rebuilding. And some
carry school buses, while in other cases it is neces
sary to detour 3 or 4 miles to reach home or work,
for safety's sake. These things need to be done
NOW, not in a few months time. The West side of
the County needs help with the County-wide water
system. A four-year-old promise is STILL only a
promise. My aim will be to get these things put
right.
jag, drinking two quarts of milk
a day and muching calcium
bars. My dalmation began fol
lowing me around licking me
and I thought it was just plain
adoration. But after he got to
drooling and doing funny things
with his teeth it suddenly dawn
ed on me that I was oozing
calcium from every pore and
Sparky’s instinct was thinking
here was a yummy two legged
bone.
I switched to beer for a week
to confuse the scent and str
aighten out Sparky’s thinking.
I won’t say what this did to his
instinct, but we had to keep
him outside for a spell.
Now all of us must chanee our
way of thinking. If we continue
to gobble up all these minerals
and vitamins we”ss soon be a
race of giants, with each gen
eration raising billions of even
bigger giants.
It looks as though people are
going to continue having babies,
so the only sensible thing to do
is to breed them into “compact
people.”
To do this, we must act at
once, as it will take a few
hundred years to reverse the
trend noticeably.
Instead of adding menerals and
vitamins, maybe we should take
out half that are already there.
Dr. Mangelsdorf said that for
several hundred years children
would have to give up milk af
ter babyhood, be schooled in
growth-stunting mountainous
altitudes and in adulthood care
fully fall in love with some
body they could look down to.
I don’t know about you, but per
sonally I’d rather be a guppy
in a hot tank.
