		John B. Meaders, Jr. saves Austin with handgun!

	(AP- Any day now...)  During last night's nuclear attack on
the United States by the Soviet Union, John B. Meaders, Jr. of Austin
Texas saved Austin by firing his handgun at the nuclear warhead as
it was about to detonate.  John apparently used great skill in shooting
at the device, as he was able to hit the arming mechanism on an 18,000
MPH warhead and inhibit detonation.

	Only 34 people died as the warhead crashed into the University
of Texas tower (site of one of the worst civilian massacres by guns
in US history).  AEC officials, quickly on the scene, indicated that
the radioactive material spread over Austin after the crash would 
render the area uninhabitable until cleaning crews were able to
clean the area.  When asked when this was likely to occur, the offical
said that all the crews were killed in nuclear explosions in other parts
of the United States, and that it would take three years for a new local
crew to be trained.

	"It's kind of ironic," said the Commissioner, "but almost as
many people will now die from the radiation than would have died if the
bomb exploded.  It's unfortunate that Austin doesn't have enough civil
defense shelters to protect the whole population for three years, and
the decay of the plutonium in the bomb will last far longer than
any of the fissile products."

	John commented, "This country would now be safe if enough people
owned handguns so that they, too, could shoot down nuclear warheads and
keep their country safe.  I didn't serve four years defending this 
country to see liberal pinko faggots deny my right to be armed to the
teeth.  You never know when you'll be able to save a comerade's life."
