Interest Rates Increase In ^C1

In a development that has sparked keen interest, interest rates are up in ^C1. The Minister of Interest, Up Division, had this to say before an interested audience: "Interestingly, all of us have displayed interested interest in the recent interest increase. Increasingly, interest has been paid to the increase, which suggests we will pay increased interest. Interested parties should increase their interest levels in days ahead. Interested?"

The Minister of Disinterest, Down Division, would not be quoted on record, but a nearby functionary anonymously reported that he continuously muttered the word "windbag" throughout the speech.
