Area Man's Eerily Vague Horoscope "Right On The Money"

 

Fort Worth, TX—Local bartender Josiah Martin was seriously creeped out Monday when his daily horoscope almost captured the turmoil going on in his life.  Martin, a bartender at the Red Goose, was shocked when he read that he would be under "additional stress" this weekend due to an "uncommonly large workload." 

 

"I had just gotten a call to pick up a shift because my manager, Chris, had just fired someone and he asked me to fill in for him," Martin recounted.  "Right after I hung up the phone I realized that I was supposed to go to a wedding with my girlfriend at the same time the shift would be going on.  I was totally stressed out."

 

After double booking his weekend plans, Martin found an increased level of stress which was highlighted in his weekend horoscope.

 

"Right after picking up the shift I read my horoscope and it said, 'Someone will ask you to do more than you can offer at this time.'  It was so right on the money it really freaked me out."

 

Martin, who reads his horoscope daily, claims he has recently started to plan his life around his daily prognostication.  He claims the readings give him "an increased advantage on his competition."

 

"I don't do anything without consulting my favorite website www.cainer.com.  Jonathan Cainer lets me know what's going on in my life before it even happens.  If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be the lead bartender at the Goose."

 

Exxon Executive Purchases Hybrid Car

Dallas, TX
News of Exxon's record-breaking profits drew criticism early this week as an outraged public struggled to reconcile rising fuel prices.  Exxon netted more than 30 billion dollars for 2007 and while the public grumbled recalcitrantly company executives privately celebrated.

Despite the public outcry over rising fuel prices, executives defended the profit margins and many even took brash steps to reward themselves with personal largesse.  Stuart R. McGill, a senior vice-president with Exxon, went out and purchased a new Toyota Hybrid car with bonuses he accrued in the fiscal third quarter.

"I just thought I'd treat myself because we've had such a successful year delivering high quality motor oil at reasonable prices to the consuming public," said McGill while lying on a bed of $20 bills in his office.  "I knew that we did something special this year from the business side and I thought the least I could do for myself was give myself and apt reward."

During a year where Americans saw record gas prices, frustrations mounted and many blamed the US government and big oil companies for padding their pocketbooks on the backs of average Americans.  Oil Executives refuted  the charges as baseless.

 

"Of course they are going to blame us," said McGill while blowing his nose on a $50 bill.  "America has a real tendency to play the blame game when times get tough.  Is it Exxon's fault that we have the oil and America wants the oil?  You know who I blame?  I blame America for not going out and finding their own oil."

McGill digressed by claiming he knew Exxon was going to have a great year and wanted to celebrate right.  

 

"I said if we had a great year, I would buy a new car.  That's what I've done.  I've always wanted a hybrid and now I can ride around in style."

When McGill was pressed as to why he wanted a hybrid electric car instead of a regular gasoline powered car he was quick to answer.

 

"There's no way I'm paying that much for gas.  I want to keep at least some of my money that I made this year," McGill claimed while lighting a Cuban Cohiba cigar with a $100 bill.

Trick-or-Treater Receives Apple From “Some Cheap Ass Mother Fucker”

 

Dallas, TX10 year old Gary Miller couldn’t wait to go trick-or-treating this past Halloween night, as did millions of other children throughout the world.  He was dressed up as Elvis this year and even had the King’s vintage twang down to ask for some candy.  Little did he know that just 4 houses in, he would be disappointed.

 

With obesity a growing concern among today’s youth, many adults are trying out healthier alternatives for kids’ consumption.  The only day that one would think all would be suspended would be Halloween.  The one night that kids go crazy with candy and sugar highs.  Melissa Cooper didn’t think so.  She had a fresh basket of apples, organic even, from Central Market on hand.

 

Miller showed up after hitting 3 quick houses and scoring big.  He couldn’t believe his eyes when Ms. Cooper smiled and said, “Here’s something to counter the belly ache from all that junk food.”

 

Miller couldn’t believe what he saw in his bag next to the bite sized candy bars.

 

“What a cheap ass mother fucker,” he said, “I worked my ass off and that bitch gives me a mother fucking apple.”

 

Miller’s parents usually don’t condone language like that in their house, however, his mother did admit that it was some “punk ass shit.”

 

Miller will be skipping Ms. Cooper’s house next year, unless they stop to “egg the shit out of it.”

 

Beware, Ms. Cooper, Beware.

 

Foo Gains Upper Hand in War Against Foo Fighters

Seattle, WA
In a war that has been raging for nearly a decade, the entity known only as "Foo" seems to have gained a decisive upper hand against the Foo Fighters. 
The war began in the early 90's when Dave Grohl and 3 other revolutionists thought that Foo had weapons of mass destruction because no one knew what Foo was or where it came from.  Seattle was on high alert as the fighters put together a team to go in and "take out" Foo.

Once word of the "taking out" hit the press, there was an outcry by Foo supporters stating that it was entirely inappropriate to discuss the assassination of the little known Foo.

 

Grohl was quick to respond.

 

"We never said we were going to assassinate Foo," he said a few weeks back.  "We said we were going to "take him out," which could mean a number of things...kidnapping, interrogation, going to a nice restaurant."

 

When asked which of those he actually meant, Grohl responded "Kill him."

The war has been going on basically without much fanfare in looking into the actual clashes between the two, but the battle have been intense.  In 1999, Chris Pulliam was the first casualty amongst the fighters as he was killed by being hit with a massive spew of foo, which has turned into the deadliest weapon in the foo arsenal.  The spew has now been perfected and last week it launched a major offensive against the fighters by releasing a massive spew of foo and taking out nearly a third of the fighters men.   Among the casualties was their leader, Dave Grohl.

"The loss of Dave Grohl to the hands of the Foo has been devastating," said a statement released by the fighters.  "But we shall overcome this loss and continue to fight the foo for as long as possible.  The fate of alternative rock bands and the world depends on our success.   We will miss Dave Grohl and can only hope and pray that he is in Nirvana now."
