Giant Fonzie Scheme Planned to Save Economy
January 14, 2009 – Washington DC
In one of his last acts as president, the Bush Administration has announced a final effort to correct America’s failing economy, by inviting actor Henry Winkler to appear at the open bell on Wall Street Friday morning. According to unnamed sources close to Mr. Bush, Mr. Winkler has been asked to revive his role as Arthur Fonzarelli from the hit TV show “Happy Days“. Mr. Winkler in costume will give his traditional “Ayyyyy!”, snap his fingers, and then hit the opening bell thus kicking starting the major indices back into positive territory. Our source within the president’s inner circle said that the plan is being referred to as a Mr. Bush’s “Fonzie Scheme” for economic recovery. Asked where the inspiration for this unconventional plan came from our source said, “Mr. Bush was troubled for several days after the Bernie Madoff scandal. He knew that there was something that rymed with Ponzi and it was just on the tip of his tongue. Once he got to Fonzie, well, the rest just made sense.”
An offical anouncement is expected to be forthcoming from the White House. Mr. Winkler had not return our calls at the time of this writing.
