The satirical linguistics website, SpeculativeGrammarian, publishes all kinds of crazy stuff.
This one struck me as particularly funny – it addresses the question of "bilingualism in the Rio Grande Valley" (i.e. southern Texas) – an issue that has seen much attention in the history of sociolinguistics. But of course, this particular satirical approach reaches quite strange results. See if you can detect their fallacious assumptions.

A few tall trees were thrusting down their fists into the dampened earth while trying to reach heaven's crown, frustration foiling hope and worth. And meanwhile buses crawled along recondite routes because ignoring the trees would keep them bold and strong and vegetation is quite boring. A cat was watching, her tail twitching, as spirits started to emerge between the cracks, faces bewitching, suggesting some old hunter's urge. In those slow buses, dull souls sat. The trees preferred that wise gray cat.
