British transportation officials re-opened London-Heathrow airport today after the cloud of volcanic ash dissipitated and visibility returned to normal. A British spokeswoman said: "Visibility is back to 60% and London's airspace status has been elevated from Utterly Bleak to Dreary." [Note: 60% visibility in England converts to 100% in the US.]
Earlier today at snacktime, just moments after the special brownies were passed out, a few residents caused quite a ruckus when they pointed to the sky and insisted that England's ash cloud had traveled across the Atlantic, all the way across America and parked its dark, grey gloomy ass over the City of Angels.
A Shady Rest helper calmed the group with one question: "What do you smell?"
A resident sniffed the air and murmured: "Dope. And farts. But mainly dope. Dope with a hint of fart."
"Well, there you go," the Helper said and left the room. The residents were shocked.
Another resident said: "You are a bad Helper, Helper."
