Bono Leverages Third World Suffering to Avoid Speeding Ticket
NEW YORK (DPI) - New York State Trooper Bud Stevenson received the surprise of his career yesterday when he discovered that the driver of a speeding car he pulled over was Bono from the Irish pop band U2. "He was doing 83 in a 65, so I was gonna write him up," said the
stunned police officer, "but now I understand how petty my concerns were in light of
all those tortured political prisoners overseas, massive debts in the third world, and the ever-growing spread of AIDS in underdeveloped nations. I ended up letting him off with just a
warning." Added a chagrined Stevenson: "He had me as soon as I saw those sunglasses."

Greenspan Takes His Act on the Road
WASHINGTON (DPI) - After basking in the glow of thrilled Senate and House audiences over
the past few weeks, Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan announced today that he's
taking his "Wizard of Wall Street" act on a 37-city American tour, beginning
with a 10-day stay at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas. "Watch me pull an economic
recovery out of my hat!" the financier told a hushed crowd of traders and bankers.
"Nothing but a few leading economic indicators up my sleeves," he continued, then,
with a wave of a rolled-up Wall Street Journal, Greenspan caused the ferocious recession
to vanish in a puff of quarterly earnings reports. Opening for Greenspan in Vegas will be
Ken Lay and His Disappearing Shareholder Equity Dancers. Tickets are available at

Stop Staring at My Tits
TALLAHASSEE (DPI) - What the hell is your problem, mister? I see the way you keep looking over at them, don't think I haven't noticed. Maybe you should take a picture, huh? They aren't here for you to gawk at, you know. If you don't stop staring I'll knock your damned teeth in! And you won't even be able to describe me to the police since you haven't looked any higher than my neck, you pervert! Jeez, a woman can't dress for the weather without some jerkwad taking it as an open invitation to ogle her breasts? I mean it, now...stop staring at my tits!

Woman Still Misses That Guy from INXS
LOS ANGELES (DPI) - Glendale resident Beatrice Taggert is still despondent about the suicide death of the lead singer from the band INXS. "I never knew him personally," Miss Taggert explained between sobs, "but that guy was so good and so young, and I miss him
so much." INXS was most popular in the late '80s and had several songs on the radio and MTV. Taggert fondly remembered that video for that one song where the guy was walking along a European-type river. "I don't know how he could kill himself," she concluded, "That guy meant so much to me."

KISS Army Lieutenant Demoted to Corporal
DETROIT (DPI) - Detroit muffler salesman Joe Rockingham was demoted from lieutenant to corporal in the KISS Army after it was discovered by superiors that he had publicly denied being a fan of the legendary rock group on three occasions. The denials began when he was overheard agreeing with an elderly customer who had commented that she was "glad to see music changing from that satanic band KISS and toward nice boys like *NSYNC." Coworker Doug Johansson, a general in the KISS army, overheard the comment and began documenting the traitorous act, telling reporters, "We can't let this slide, or we end up becoming a parody of a real group of fans."

Businessman Sues Self for Sexual Harassment
EVANSVILLE, INDIANA (DPI) - Local businessman Chad Komen filed suit in circuit court this week, charging himself with sexual harassment at his place of employment. Komen, owner of an accounting firm, stated that the alleged harassment has taken place over the last 18 months. "I became aware that I was taking an unusual interest in how I dressed to come to work," Komen stated before a judge. "I caught myself 'checking me out' every time I'd enter the office. At first I thought nothing, but then I was finding more and more frequent excuses to be alone with myself, and often complimented myself on my appearance. I was
flattered at first; and then the touching began."

Teenager Surprised to Discover Sex Doesn't Solve All Her Problems
FULLERTON, CALIFORNIA (DPI) - Lorraine Robinson, a 15-year-old sophomore at Fullerton High School, was surprised to discover that giving in to her 16-year-old boyfriend's demands for sex did not, in fact, solve all her problems and transform her life into the fairy-tale bed of roses she'd always dreamed it could be. "Bobby seems a lot happier, sort of, except now all he wants to do is, like, have sex. Before, we'd sometimes go some place, like the mall. Now the only thing we talk about is whose parents aren't home right now. This isn't like the movies at all."
