Bangladeshis Deeply Moved By Heartbreaking Images of Flood-Hit Nashville

The amphibious people of Bangladesh have dug deep into their pockets to send aid to the white flood victims of Nashville, Tennessee, after seeing images of the terrible devastation on their waterproofed televisions yesterday.

"My heart is breaking to see such unbearable suffering," said fish-man Masud Alam. "Here in Bangladesh we have learned to seal our few electrical items into polythene bags, grout the wall socket and extract oxygen through our rudimentary gills, so life goes on when our rivers burst their banks every year and submerge the entire country. But white people should not have to endure such hardships. I am selling my children to Mr Haq's clothing factory to raise funds which I will send to the United States for the relief of those poor whites."

The good white folk of Nashville, however, have shunned the aid which is flowing in from the poverty-stricken Asian state.

"Ah doan wan' no furrin cash nosir," said angry washed-out supremacist Jim-Bob Presley. "If ah cain't find it on a map, ah ain't havin' no truck with it. So you folks from aways beyond Clarksville kin keep yore funny money, y'hear?"

Meanwhile, black residents of the waterlogged Southern city have expressed no such reservations over the source of any aid that might come their way, but say they are not holding their breath - at least not until the water reaches the ceiling, at any rate.
