DOMINO SETS BANNED FROM AMERICAN HOUSEHOLDS?

Institute for Crime Research (ICR)- Scientists at the ICR have urged the Senate to pass a new law stating that Domino sets are to be removed from all American homes and forbidden to be sold in markets and businesses. The scientists at ICR claim that through intensive research within the last year, they have proved that the use of dominoes can cause gratuitous amounts of stress, thus leading to a much higher level of crime rate.
"Our studying shows us that 76% of murders and rape are actually committed by normal, urban citizens. 80% of which committed their crimes within a two hour time period after trying to set up an elaborate trail of falling dominoes," Stated Dr. JIm Gretauri, head scientist at the ICR, "Many of these subjects have later admitted to having felt stressed after their dominoes were knocked over by a draft or a clumsy house cat. After hours of working on a trail of dominoes and having the entire project destroyed before your very eyes over and over again, the stress can get to your head."
The scientists at IRC are continuing to push the idea of this law to Senate, and already they have inspired rallies of concerned mothers and old hippie women with nothing else to do, but the Senate has yet to acknowledge their requests.
