Rush Limbaugh Angered That Former President Was Not Given "Proper Burial"

 

Washington, DC - A spokesperson for Rush Limbaugh admitted he was 'upset and distraught' by the lack of support and ceremony put into the former president's funeral.  Reagan, the nation's 40th president, was eulogized for nearly a week following his death culminating in a state funeral where the president lain in state.IMAGE: Limbaugh

 

"What does a guy have to do for people to give him the proper respect he deserves?  I would think we should dedicate the entire month to our nations greatest president." claimed political commentator Rush Limbaugh during his daily radio broadcast.  "This is just another attempt by the liberal media to try to undermine the conservative movement."

 

Research Proves Laboratory Rats Cause Of Cancer

 

Palo Alto, CA - The American Cancer Society made a startling announcement today claiming to have found the cause of cancer.  After an on-going nine month research campaign, Independent researcher, R.J. Bartles, has found that laboratory rats are the cause of cancer.  Bartles claims to have isolated the gene which leads to an ongoing  regeneration of cancer cells.  The unique gene, found only in rats, can be passed from the rodents to humans through the air.  Bartels' research also concluded that some humans can carry a dormant version of the gene around for years acting as a conduit for other human contamination.

 

"All these years researchers have been using rats to find the cure but instead they have propagated the disease.  It's a sad day for the A.C.S."  Bartles sadly announced.

 

American Cancer Society President, Mike Dolmage, was taken aback and embarrassed by the news.  "Boy, there is egg on our face today.  There's no way around it.  And to think I brought one of those rats home as a pet for my daughter.  Her mother is not going to be happy about this one."

The announcement comes at time when the A.C.S. is already coming under fire from  animal rights activists.  Earlier this month PETA acrimoniously accused A.C.S. of unnecessarily harming animals to find a cure for cancer.  PETA spokesman, Todd Puckett, quickly dismissed the discovery.  "There is not one part of me that believes this announcement.  A.C.S. is only saying these things to try and get the human race to hate rats.  They think by making this announcement it will divert PETA' s cause to assist these harmless creatures.  But I say this to the people of A.C.S.:  Peta will not take our eye off the ball. "  claimed an irate Puckett.

Surprisingly, representatives from The Center For Disease Control confirmed that laboratory rats are indeed the central cause of cancer.   CDC public relations manager, Julie Fenderway, announced today that cancer has been cured.  "Everyone can go back to doing everything that we thought was bad for you.  In fact, I suggest doing everything twice to make up for lost time." an excited Fenderway claimed.  Immediately after making the statement Fenderway lit up two cigarettes and ate six pieces of bacon.

 

Former sit-com star surprised to find

matre’ d doesn’t know him

 

Dallas, TX - Diners at Dallas’ The Mansion were disrupted Saturday night by a drunken Anson Williams.  Williams, who starred as Potsie Webber on the ABC classic “Happy Days”.  Williams went into a drunken rage when he was informed accommodations couldn’t be made for his party of six. 

 

“Do you know who I am?” screamed an agitated Williams.  A full thirty seconds of silence followed as Matre D’,  John Damgaard, blankly stared back at him.  When Williams barked, “I’m Anson ‘F***ing’ Williams”.  Another twelve seconds passed and then he added, “From television’s ‘Happy Days.’”  Damgaard’s expression read “no sale” and he once again informed Williams that accommodations still couldn’t be made for his party.    “Quite honestly, I didn’t know who he was then and I don’t know now.  I never watch such rubbish as television comedy.”

 

Williams then pointed to a nearby empty table and demanded to be seated there.  He was told those tables were reserved for “special guests and celebrities”.  “I used to work with Ron Howard.  We used to have dinner together all the time.”  Williams then flew off the handle when he was told that if he could arrange for Mr. Howard to join him at dinner then arrangements could be made to seat his party.

 

Nearby diner, Matt Luvin, was both surprised and saddened by the outburst.  “What a fall from grace, man.  I mean, there he was…Potsie from “Happy Days” and he couldn’t get a table.  Ralph Malph I could understand…but Potsie?  Potsie was the lead singer in their band on the show.  What does a person have to do to get some respect in this world?”  Luvin even went so far as to offer Williams a seat at his table.  “Anson ‘F***king’ Williams doesn’t eat with his public.” Luvin was told.

 

After repeated attempts to remove Williams, the Dallas Police forcibly removed him from the premises.  Witnesses claimed to have heard Williams yell on the way out, “I wouldn’t want to eat in this pisshole anyway.”  An hour later he was spotted at a local Taco Bell dining on a chalupa. 

 

Man Accused Of Overuse Of Euphemisms

 

Mansfield, TX - Late Saturday night, Mansfield resident Jake Kondrey was hauled off to jail after he used a string of over ninety euphemisms during a domestic dispute with his live in girlfriend. Official charges have yet to be determined, but police are determined that Kondrey serve time for his crime, even though no one is quite sure what that crime is.

According to witnesses, Mr. Kondrey had been watching an episode of "Stripperella", the new Pamela Anderson cartoon, when, at approximately 1:15 am Ms. Gina Poole entered the apartment and a verbal altercation began. Court documents indicate that Mr. Kondrey claimed Ms. Poole was "monopolizing access to the hoo-hah" and denying "his car access to the garage". Neighbors said Ms. Poole only became outraged when Mr. Kondrey continued in his flagrant use of euphemisms.

 

"I didn’t know what he was talkin about at first", said Ms. Poole the next day, "Maybe he’d been drinkin’ too much or something. But then he says that I need to ‘quit being tight with the shrubbery’ and that ‘astronauts need tang’. He needs to speak english. I don’t know what the hell all that is."

Careful scrutiny of court papers reveal almost one-hundred synonyms for the female area were allegedly used by Kondrey, including: coochie, bone magnet, front booty, Einstein and aardvark strangler. Police officials remain hopeful of getting a conviction, saying individually the words don’t mean anything much, but taken as a whole they reach an entirely different level.

 

"It’s hard enough for men to say exactly what they want. This just makes it that much harder for women to understand them.", said Mansfield Police Detective Julian Snattch. "A man should be able to use clinical terms for the female body instead of juvenile substitutes. To that end, I have started a petition here at the station. It says that all of us will only use the highest of language when referring to those private areas. So far, half the force has signed it, including Officer Snapper, Patrolman Slott and Chief Kammeltow."

Upon his release from police custody, Mr. Kondrey continued his tirade, saying,"She has that cooter to herself all of the dang time, yet even if you include the time she’s takin’ a whiz, she ain’t using that President Bush but seven or eight minutes a day. By my math, that leaves me over twenty something hours a day I could be handlin’ up on my business!" With that Mr. Kondrey climbed into his cherry 1978 Trans-Am, reaching into the clove compartment for a multicolored comb, which he used to push back his out of control mullet. "Stay hard, and keep on jammin!", He said as he drove away.

 

Meteorologist Admits He Has No Idea What's To Come

 

Dallas, TX - In a rare moment of honesty WFAA meteorologist, Troy Dungan, admits he has absolutely no idea what the weather is going to be like tomorrow. "I simply have no clue. The Doppler radar is a complete hoax and I cannot continue living this lie. It might rain. It might not. I haven't any idea and never have regarding weather patterns."

Upon making the admission, WFAA president Len Folsten put Dungan on temporary leave. "Troy has given us many good years of service and I think he is tired and needs some rest.. "

Rival stations quickly made statements saying that their respective meteorologist were scientist s who could predict the weather patterns. "Bullshit." claimed Dungan. "We are no different that soothsayers or tarot card readers."

 

Greg Fields will be filling in for Dungan in his absence. His first report concluded there will be a 50% chance of rain and a 50% chance of sun for the rest of the week.

 

Flossing Makes Mans Gums Bleed

 

Haltom City, TX - Local resident, Mike Hendricks, was surprised early Monday morning when he discovered blood after his first flossing experience in nearly four years.  Hendricks, who was trying to dislodge a small shell from the previous night's popcorn snack, noticed the taste upon flossing his first large molar.

 

"Now dentists know why I don't do this.  It cannot be good for your gums...it makes them bleed." an upset Hendricks explained.  "My whole life I have been told to floss and the first time I do I lose a pint of my own blood."

 

Hendricks' dentist, Steven Klegg, was at first pleased to hear that Hendricks had resumed flossing and then was quickly disappointed to hear that the flossing had been abandoned.

 

"I told Michael, 'you only have to floss the teeth that you intend to keep'.  I guess I've just learned that he doesn't plan on keeping any of his teeth." a saddened Klegg admitted.
