SPECIAL INCOME
TAX EDITION
This issue of McGuffin's Untrue News is brought to you by the United States Internal
Revenue Service, which says "You've heard much made of the fact that we are auditing
far fewer people than ever before. Don't be fooled. If YOU
try to scam so much as a dime off your taxes, we'll hit you with the fullest penalties
allowed by law. We'll take your car, your house and that scholarship your twins
worked so hard for. Don't believe everything you hear on TV. You're not
O.J. Simpson. Pay your taxes."
WOODSMAN, SPARE THAT TREE
President Clinton
has ordered the permanent protection of some of the world's oldest and largest
redwood trees, by setting aside 327,000 acres of forest in central California as
a national monument. Predictably, Republican presidential hopeful George W.
Bush deplored the action, saying "Yes, the trees are old, but I can't help
thinking that if we cut them down, the lumber could help build some really fine,
solid prisons."

lovely Asia de Cuba) and Mr. Laffs in Death Valley on Sunday (standby comic).
If you're in the area, drop in, mention my name and they'll waive the four drink
minimum. Catch you next time. --Mel

Richard Burton's family
