Time for America to ban the Yo Yo?
Life on the peninsula is becoming increasingly anxious for some crackers living in Florida.
Here it is very early in July and us crackers are being threatened by a Harricaine * named Elsa.
ABS would not be surprised to learn that Comedic Harris ( cue the cackle) is thinking about banning the Yo Yo as a way to combat "climate change," which, she insanely claims, is a root cause of the Border Crisis.
In the 1930s the Muslim leaders in Syria convinced the govt to ban the Yo Yo because it was a toy that angered Heaven and caused God to create a drought and cold spell
The action of the Yo Yo, recalled to the hand by a subtle movement before it struck the ground, was what God did with the rain to punish Syria for allowing use of the Yo Yo\.
It seems, according to Islamic Theology, God would send the rain down towards the earth but the recall it it heaven before it hit the earth, as though God were playing with the rain like men of the earth played with the Yo Yo.

1933 Syrian Yo-yo Ban
It was on January 21st, 1933 that yo-yos were
banned in Syria by then-Prime
Minister Haqqi al-Azm.
At the time, there was a drought and severe
cold disastrously affecting the local cattle.
Superstitious Muslims believe this to be
a divine punishment for the introduction of
the yo-yo.
They claimed that while people
were praying for the rain to come down from
above, the yo-yo goes down and before it
reaches the ground, it returns to the user's
hand with a subtle tug of the string.
According to them, this supposedly angered the
heavens and brought on the drought as punishment.
The Muslim chiefs interviewed al-Azm,
convincing him that yo-yos were evil,
and so they were immediately banned. On
January 21st, the police paraded the
streets and confiscated yo-yos from anyone
and everyone they see playing with them.
