This
week's issue of McGuffin's Untrue News is brought to you by the makers of the
delicious spread "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" who say "if you really can't
believe it's not butter, we'd like you to take a look at this penny stock we're
offering in a typewriter company, it's never been cheaper!"
A
FATE WORSE THAN DEATH
Michael Skakel,
indicted for the murderer of 15 year-old Martha Moxley 25 years ago in the
wealthy enclave of Greenwich, Connecticut must be charged as a juvenile, because
he was only 15 at the time the crime was committed. If the 40 year-old
Skakel is found guilty, he'll be locked in a juvenile detention center with
teenagers for 3 years...which in our opinion is punishment enough for any crime
he may have committed.

airhead, it's named after the inventor of the airplane, Orwell Wright."
A
DAY WITHOUT A PRICE RISE IS LIKE A DAY WITHOUT SUNSHINE
An incurable
citrus canker is invading lime trees in Florida groves. The canker, which can
only be destroyed by burning, may spread to orange and grapefruit trees as well.
Asked if there were a danger that entire groves would be destroyed, Citrus
Growers of Florida spokesman Ray Crosette said "All I can tell you is, if this
keeps up, orange juice prices will rise by 3-5 cents per quart at the wholesale
level." When a reporter inquired how long the threat was expected to last,
Crosette said "Until just after we can get the price of orange juice up by
3-5 cents per quart at the wholesale level."
