folks who wear glasses." Try getting your Lasik-enhanced cornea to put out some

SORRY ABOUT THAT, CHIEF
On his visit to Israel, Pope John Paul II
apologized to Jews on behalf of wrongs which may have been committed against them by people
of the church. For their part, Jews apologized to the Pope for their secret conspiracy
to rule the world.
In a related story, after hearing the Pope's message,
O.J. Simpson phoned CNN and proclaimed "See that? Even the Pope apologized to The
Juice."
WE BUY OLD JUNK, WE SELL RARE ANTIQUES
Executives of the snooty auction houses Chrtistie's and Sotheby's are accused
of sharing client lists and fixing prices on commissions over a long period of time.
Prosecutors feel the defendants, if convicted, should serve fifteen years in prison. I
have fifteen, do I hear twenty? Twenty, twenty, twenty, I have twenty, I'm looking for
twenty-five. I have twenty five, who'll make it thirty? Thirty thirty thirty...
In addition to whatever sentences they may receive if found
guilty, Christie's and Sotheby's executives will also find their sentences increased by
ten percent once the judge tacks on the special "auction house felons'" premium.
SUFFER THE CHILDREN
Pope John Paul II grants his blessing to a huge mud pie cookie brought by a group of Jewish,
Muslim and Christian Israeli Children. Speaking later to Untrue News, Naomi Geller
(center) said "We were gonna eat it for lunch and then he put his fingers all over it and
everything, ewww..."
ANY PORT IN A STORM
Patrick
J. Naughton, a former executive with an Internet company affiliated with Disney, pled guilty
to federal charges that he crossed state lines to have sex with a 13-year old girl he met in
an Internet chat room. Naughton flew from Seattle to Los Angeles to meet the girl, who turned
out to be a male undercover FBI agent. "Even so" said Naughton, "we had a pretty nice
evening."

THESE KIDS TODAY
This
young lady seems to be saying:
a) As If.
b) Could you BE more of a dork?
c) Please pass the broccoli!
If you guessed "C" you're right! More and more young
people are realizing the value of nutritious broccoli as part of a healthy lifestyle.
It could be that broccoli may have been found to possibly help prevent certain types of
cancer in some cases, maybe. And we all know how great it tastes. Get some today,
and start living the broccoli way! Presented by ABC--the American Broccoli Counsel--can
you tell we've got a new ad agency?

William Holden Impersonator
Bill Silverstein says:
"First, let me say if anyone
knows where I can get some work, please contact my agent Dorianne Gootnik at Gootnik, Felber
and LaFrange, they're right on Hollywood Boulevard. I do all ages of William Holden in
my one man show "HOLDEN. A Man and His Bottle." I'm trying to get bookings, or any sort
of work as an actor where a William Holden impersonator is needed. "Being William
Holden" might be a good followup movie to John Malkovich, yes? Okay, so please click on
a couple sponsors here at my favorite website, Untrue News. I'm also available for
children's parties, and any sort of mall or supermarket opening or festivity. (A great
birthday gag: Have "William Holden" deliver the birthday subject's mail.)"
