NATO Military Exercise Conducted at Neighborhood Day Care Center

Residents of Flushing Meadows Queens awoke this morning to the fresh smell of napalm and the sounds of brisk semi-automatic fire. In an unannounced military exercise, NATO Senior Commanders rousted nearly 300 residents of the sleepy community at 2 AM and placed them in plastic handcuffs.

"It's just like old times," cried former Vietnam veteran Hal 'No-Nose' Bellamy as he was herded into a freezing 6'x6' holding tank at The Sunny Rainbow Care-Bear Nursery School on Utopia Parkway. Bellamy was given a last pack of cigarettes before being taken out in the playground and garroted by a Dutch teenager in a crisp NATO combat uniform. In a side note, local residents were also warned to keep away from Pinky's Frosty Freeze, which was serving as Central Command Headquarters.
