Gilbert Mourns Death of Palm Tree GILBERT AZ -- Hundreds turned out today to mourn the passing of the third largest palm tree in the back yard of Gilbert man Kevin Walsh. "It was a lovely tree, even though it was smaller than the other two," said one resident who asked to remain anonymous. "It's a shame, a horrible tragedy, and it died before its time," said the source, reflecting a broadly held suspicion that the tree died other than a natural death.
"Foul play has not been ruled out," said Gilbert Sherrif Randy Creed, lead investigator in the death. "We're not saying it's a homicide, but it hasn't been ruled out." The Sherrif went on to cite a shocking lack of discipline displayed in Walsh's watering routine.
Area Dog Predicts Apocalypse
GILBERT AZ -- Gilbert citizens began hoarding foodstuffs and gasoline today after local mixed breed puppy Tucker predicted the onset of the Apocalypse, slated to begin next Wednesday. Hundreds were injured at Val Vista Crossing Safeway when panic-stricken citizens screamed and fought their way through crowds of equally fearful fellow residents to obtain bread, milk, Cheetos and other staples in anticipation of the chaos and horror expect to be unleashed upon a sinful world.
Tucker could not be reached for comment due to an appointment with the veterinarian to have his toe-nails trimmed.
Pope Declares War on Toenail Fungus
GILBERT AZ -- Gilbert residents huddled around radios and televisions in stunned silence today as Pope John Paul II angrily declared war on toenail fungus, declaring it a disease "that affects 10-12 million Americans. It can affect toenails, fingernails or both. Characteristic features of toenail fungus include thick, yellow or brittle nails; accumulation of debris under the nail or detachment of the nail from the nail bed."
The pontiff spoke passionately of the difficulties faced by long-suffering patients, and pointed out the availability of SPORANOX to fight the affliction.
"Before SPORANOX became available, many doctors did not treat toenail fungus because available therapies were not as effective. Now we have an option for people to fight the embarrassment, disfigurement and the physical pain of toenail fungus."
