Terrorists Destroy Water Main
GILBERT AZ --
As the result of an apparent terrorist attack, the home of Gilbert
resident Kevin Walsh was temporarily without water over the weekend. "It
was horrible. I couldn't brush my teeth, or shave, or anything." Gilbert
Water District employee Rick Santee responded to the emergency by shutting
off the water. Santee did not, however, repair the cut main. "I'll fix anythin' before
the meter, after that it belongs to the home owner."
Local police are baffled by the crime, reporting that no group
has as yet taken credit for the act. "It's a real puzzler," remarked
Gilbert Sherrif Randy Creed.
Distraught, Dog Collapses
GILBERT AZ -- Local mixed breed puppy Tucker collapsed
today upon hearing of the latest move by the Federal
Reserve to cut interest rates by one quarter per cent.
"He was sure it was going to be more than that," local resident Sean
Walsh remarked. "I mean, at least a half per cent would have been
more reasonable. He really had his heart set on something better."
Pope Visits Gilbert Walmart
GILBERT AZ -- In a surprise move, Pope John Paul
II visited the Dobson Road Walmart this morning,
reportedly to spread "blessings and good cheer." Store
Greeter Danny Kelso was pleased with the Pontiff's visit.
"It sure was nice to see John Paul. He's lookin' real good."
Mr. Kelso was apparently not so overwhelmed by the Pope's visit
as to forego the usual receipt check upon his exit from the store.
"It ain't impossible that he might slip somethin' by me."
