20 year old Katrina Hurri is having a terrible month. “I’m not sure why, but, everyone is being very mean to me,” Katrina told us. “I get terrible looks, especially after I tell someone my name. Last week, my Mom called my name in a store and everyone in the store stopped what they were doing and nearly flicked me off.”

Katrina’s friend, Rita, is facing a similar and strange bad vibe from people. “Everyone is being mean to me too, I don’t get it. I’m a really nice person, I’ve never been mean to anyone.” Katrina and Rita, who volunteer in the local Salvation Army once a month had a frightening experience earlier this week. “People would refuse our help after they saw our name tags. One customer told me that, ‘I’d rather kill my own mother than accept help from you.’ Can you believe that?” Katrina told us.

“Well, ‘Blow me’ is the response I normally get. It’s pretty crappy, I didn’t cause these storms, George Bush did,” Rita said. There are also rumors that both might be fired from their jobs at the local restaurant waiting tables. A manager was overheard saying that customers are complaining about the service. However, Rita and Katrina have the highest sales among all of the waiters and waitresses. Andrew, a friend of the girls, said that he never had this problem in 1992. “Yeah, it wasn’t a big deal back then, I don’t get it. Then again, I was pretty young,” Andrew told us.

Whether or not Katrina and Rita had something to do with the two hurricanes to hit the US in the last month is under investigation by the Department of Homeland Security, we found out from a government representative. “Katrina and Rita both have the same exact letters in their name, r, i, t and a. Do you think this is a coincidence? I don’t,” said the representative whom has to be kept secret. It’s definitely not Karl Rove.
