The Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul were ravaged by a howling windstorm Tuesday, causing downed power lines, toppled trees, and subsequent traffic tie-ups all over the metropolitan area. The storm lasted only fifteen minutes, and local meteorologists were at a loss to explain the phenomenon.That is, until they heard that Minneapolis-based Ennui Broadcasting, whose stock had plummeted to the value of half a postage stamp just a few months ago, had been told that their stock had improved enough that being de-listed from the NASDAQ was no longer a threat.
"The wind was obviously a collective sigh of relief from Ennui headquarters," concluded leading TV weatherman Riley Unlikely.
Indeed, a celebratory spirit overtook the company's home office, prompting National Program Director Julius Genius to command all Ennui music stations to promote a "Re-listing Weekend" this coming Saturday and Sunday.
"We'll play only the songs that we've dropped over the past year...re-listing them on our playlists, Genius declared. "It may be a lousy, mediocre weekend of stiffs, but that just means they'lll love us that much more on Monday morning!"
The ever-volatile Ennui stock closed Wednesday at $0.89, inexplicably losing 17% of its value, although it will have to remain under a dollar for thirty days for de-listing to be a concern again.
