  • The Window Dressers  By : B. MacNichol
    When I was younger, and still going through that “hippy-hopping of jobs
    to see what I really wanted to do in life” stage, I had a brief stint as a display person in an older department store. This was one of those places that was built in the 1940’s, and probably reached it’s heyday in the late 50’s & early 60’s. The great, brick behemoth, was located at the intersection of two major thoroughfares, and had a number of display windows facing the street on two full sides of the building. Hence, quite often we would find ourselves needing to come up with “full room window dressings”, showing off the current styles to passing car and foot traffic.

  • Humour Therapy  By : Todd Lange

  • Bush Reveals New Missile Defense; Guides Weapon Back To Launching Pad  By : Tom Attea
    Rest easy, America, even when you contemplate the abbreviated flight of North Korea’s errant but someday, they hope, long-range Taepodong 2 missile – a name that, should the nation ever decide to enter the capitalist hustings, doesn’t sound like a very promising appellation for a new car.

    In the wake of the miscalculated launch of seven missiles by North Korea, including a Taepodong 2, President Bush told reporter Larry Wing in an exclusive interview, “We’ve got a missile ...

  • Relaxed And Happy American Located; Agrees To Brief Interview  By : Tom Attea
    Despite the troubling news that assails us each day and seems bent on convincing us we should all be the tense and unhappy recipients of the worldwide outrages it forwards, we remained confident that maybe somewhere there is still at least one American who is relaxed and happy.

    Intent on locating the indomitable soul, should there still be one, we spread out across the nation and, just as we were ready to drop our shoulders and sigh with hopelessness, we saw a man walking ...

  • Bin Laden Sighted In Karachi; May Turn Self In  By : Tom Attea
    Reports of Osama Bin Laden’s whereabouts took a new turn this week when a Pakistani woman reported sighting a tall man in a white robe with matching turban hit his head on a low doorway.

    The woman's suspicions about the identity of the man were further aroused when she noticed the entrance led to a recording studio.

    So as not to create suspicion, she approached him without revealing who she thought he might be.

    “Are you all right?” she asked, with demur innocence.

  • Jimmy Hoffa Continues To Evade FBI  By : Tom Attea
    As the FBI, operating on a tip from a prisoner who reported witnessing suspicious activity on the night of Jimmy Hoffa’s disappearance, continued to search for the former teamster leader, he was somehow still able to evade capture.

    Although Mr. Hoffa disappeared over fifty years ago, no sign of him or his remains have been detected, despite numerous tips of either’s possible whereabouts.

    Given the run-ins the teamster boss had with the FBI during the period when he was ...
  • Italian Man Asks Wrong Question About Christ; Court Agrees To Hear Case  By : Tom Attea
    As you know, an Italian gentleman has challenged the Catholic Church to prove that Christ existed, and, while the case was, somewhat expectedly, tossed out in an Italian court, the plaintiff, undaunted, found a court in Strasbourg that has agreed to hear it. It remains to be revealed who the Catholic Church will designate to defend its historical foundation.

    Should we flinch from such a touchy subject and leave you to your own puzzlements? No, dear reader, rest assured tha...
  • Europeans Press Iran; Present Cartoon Of Bombs Dropping On Nuclear Plants  By : Tom Attea
    European negotiators, intent on reaching a peaceful agreement with Iran about its controversial nuclear program, resorted to a tactic that has recently proven to be the most reliable way to elicit a response in much of the Muslim world.

    Remembering the extraordinary reaction to Danish cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammad and, again last week, demonstrations by an Iranian Turkish minority over a new cartoon that, they think, portrays them in an unfavorable light, the Eur...

    Mexicans by the millions cheered the decision, throwing fiestas nationwide, with shouts of “...

  • Dick Cheney Enrolls At Dale Carnegie; Updates Curriculum  By : Tom Attea
    Vice President Cheney, upon his return from a visit to former Soviet Bloc nations, during which he criticized Russian President Putin in unusually direct, if correct, terms, found himself suffering from shortness of breath. Hesitant about consulting a doctor immediately, he performed a self-diagnosis and realized that his condition was due primarily to putting his foot in his mouth with alarming frequency.

    Knowing the tenuous disposition of his cardiovascular system, he de...
  • Theory Of Evolution Challenged By French Chef; Cites Role Of Food And Wine  By : Tom Attea

    Personal experience has also confirmed the wisdom of moderation. For example, one inveterate marathoner was shocked by the surprising perception that there were no...
  • Bin Laden Releases Another Audiotape: Hideout Too Dark For Video  By : Tom Attea
    Apparently, unable to contain his enthusiasm for bumming out the relatively nice and unsuspecting folks who make up much of the Western World, the misinformed medievalist has released another drearily threatening audiotape. Since the combined political, military, and intelligence resources of the civilized world cannot locate the potato head, we suggest the audiotape be taken as an opportunity to arrest him.

    Here's how. Somebody buys the resourceful recluse a video camera ...
  • Gossip: What People Say About It  By : Tom Attea
    We decided, at a reader’s request, to write about gossip and, along the way, to note what others have gossiped about it. We decided, at a reader’s request, to write about gossip and, along the way, to note what others have gossiped about it.

    What might one say under the influence of a confessional potion when asked, “Why do you always talk about other people?”

    We imagined the reply, “Apparently, because I have nothing much to say about myself.”

  • U.S. Ends Oil Dependency; Turns B.S. Into Fuel  By : Tom Attea
    While America is experiencing a gasoline shortage, the nation’s dependence on foreign oil is about to end.

    A researcher at The Department of Energy, from which breakthrough ideas emanate on a regular basis, noticed that Americans, along with most people who ever lived, have a virtually unlimited and renewable supply of B. S. He wondered if it might be turned into fuel.

    The hypothesis proved so promising that his work produced a marvelous result in as short a time as it ...
  • Russia Defends Iranian Nuke Program; Considers Position Good Customer Service  By : Tom Attea
    While the civilized world has reacted with horror at Iran’s plan to harness the energy of the atom, as in bombs away, Russia has steadfastly defended the menacing mullahdom’s nuclear ambitions.

    At first, any person distinguished for responsible behavior is taken back by such apparently reckless advocacy, not only because it seems wildly risky, if not outright self-destructive, but also because one does not expect it from people who have decided to present themselves as suc...
  • France Attacks Iran: U. S. And Britain Object  By : Tom Attea
    France, casting aside its usual insistence on diplomacy, even when it’s obvious to every person who happens to be alert that it can’t work, finally grew impatient with Iran’s centrifuge-rattling behavior and launched a unilateral attack on it.

    As French mirage jets swooped down on Iran’s nuclear facilities and French troops launched a land assault from warships in the Persian Gulf, the United States and Britain voiced immediate objections.

    President Bush said, “I just d...
  • Gas Prices Go "Gas-Tronomical!"  By : Tom Attea
    Recently, the price of gas has gone up approximately three or four times a day, depending on how energetic the person is who climbs up and changes the prices at your favorite filling station, until the only word for the skyrocketing astonishment is "gas-tronomical!”

    President Bush took a bold stance on the issue, saying, ““Americans understand the price of crude oil is going up but they will not accept manipulation of the market. And neither will I!”

    Proud words, perhap...
  • The Headless Horseman Of Mass Media: Information Everywhere, Philosophy Nowhere  By : Tom AtteaNewsLaugh.com
    Did you ever notice that we’re surrounded by information but hardly ever come across an idea in the media that might help us lead sane and happy lives? Oh, not the usual self-help drivel about how to lose weight or enjoy sex, but answers to the really big questions, like what to think about when you wake up in the morning and how to drink water out of a plastic bottle without burping.

    Try this experiment. Next time you go up to your favorite newsstand, scan all the overwro...
  • Saddam Hussein Seeks Mcdonald's Francise  By : Tom AtteaNewsLaugh.com
    Saddam Hussein, in his latest bid to escape execution for crimes against his own people, has applied to McDonald’s for a franchise. The application is widely regarded as a move by his defense team to convince the court that, if his life is spared, he will be a model citizen in the Iraq of the future.

    In his application, Hussein states that he has a great deal of fast-food experience from his months on the run. He also states that, if granted the franchise, he will cease an...
  • The Illogical Puppet Of Iran: Any Chance Of Getting The Little Guy A Better Script?  By : Tom AtteaNewsLaugh.com
    First, we learned to say and spell the puppet’s name: Armadinejad. Not exactly Smith. Then we watched him perform upon a crafty mullah’s knee. We have been patient, like any fair-minded audience, but the more we listen, the more we realize that the puppet has a script that just doesn’t make sense.

    He raises one hand and, without the mullah appearing to move his own lips, practiced ventriloquist that he is, little Armadinejad threatens to “wipe Israel off the map” and blust...
  • Rumsfeld Appoints Self Retired General; Rushes To Own Defense  By : Tom AtteaNewsLaugh.com
    Donald Rumsfeld, under fire from a platoon of retired generals who have called for his resignation, went on the offensive by appointing himself a retired general.

    Accompanied by a currently employed general, who, as the head of The Joint Chiefs Of Staff, is his usual sidekick, he stated, “As The Secretary of Defense, I think I should at least be on an equal footing with a retired general, and, after careful consideration, I decided to become one.”

    A reporter then asked,...
  • Conversation In An Age Of Confusion  By : Tom AtteaNewsLaugh.com
    What do people talk about when they all believe different things and nobody is sure what the other person believes?

    Then you add to that the usual courtesy that most people don’t want to offend other people, especially when it comes to the topics people disagree about with the most intensity, such as politics and religion, which all but the most foolhardy consider way off limits, at least, in what is referred to as polite conversation.

    Actually, the silence of the times...
  • Senior Ticked For Walking Too Slow; Others Try Roller Skates  By : Tom AtteaNewsLaugh.com
    An 82-year-old woman was recently issued a ticket in California for crossing a street too slowly. A police officer, who arrived on a motorcycle, told her she was obstructing traffic – and issued her a summons for $114.

    Responding to the uproar caused by the curious traffic ticket, the municipality has begun to wonder if it should work out ways to help seniors cross streets without fear of incurring a penalty.

    It is, of course, much too optimistic to hope that the munici...
  • Montana People: Weird In Their Own Special Way  By : Jenny Harker
    We have all heard tales of strange people living in Montana; the Unabomber, the freedom militias, the poor sods stuck in the Federal Witness Protection Program.

    I assure you the majority of people living in Montana are friendly, polite, are reasonably sane, and will go out of their way to lend a hand to strangers.

    Now, I am a cynical Californian transplanted in Montana. I cannot help but feel suspicious of helpful strangers.

    Oh, the clerk wants to volunteer the use o...

  • Is This Funny: Can We Develop Non-Violent Humour?  By : Ivana Milojević
    “In its original historical meaning, a cartoon (from the Italian cartone, meaning "big paper") is a full-size drawing made on paper as a study for a further artwork, such as a painting or tapestry. In modern print media, a cartoon is an illustration, usually humorous in intent.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartoons

  • You Love Them Because They're Funny!  By : Heather Diodati
    For years I heard woman after woman say after obviously falling in love, "He's so funny! I just love that about him."

    Often after someone has lost a family member, they'll say "I'll always remember her smile, the way she laughed, the little jokes she would tell to lighten the mood."
