John Paul II: Gazing Upon God's Face for All Eternity Sounded Good at First
At The Left Hand (DPI) - Anonymous sources highly placed in the Seraphim
and the Cherubim have revealed that newly ascended Pope John Paul II has
quickly become disillusioned with the afterlife. "All my life I slaved, I
toiled, I humbled myself, I worked my fingers to the bone for the Guy,"
the embittered former pontiff allegedly grumbled, "and for what? To stare
endlessly, thoughtlessly at the face of God? Sure, on earth, I thought
this would be the cat's ass, you know, choirs of angels singing fit to
bust, and an interesting face -- an interesting face, mind you -- to gaze
upon forever. What was I thinking? It's been less than a week, and already
I'm tired of those piercing eyes. It's like a non-stop 'holier-than-thou
because I don't need to blink' staring contest. At least Satan expects you
to flinch. I'd rather be golfing in Hawaii or fly-fishing in Ireland, to tell
the truth." An anonymous deceased friend of the pope's said that the Supreme
Being "would certainly profit from an exfoliating scrub, a blackhead gun
and a bronzer."

Monaco's Unemployment Ends as 47-Year-Old Gets First Job
MONTE CARLO (DPI) - The last unemployed person in Monaco was finally
given a job today, bringing the principality's unemployment to 0 percent.
Albert Alexandre Louis Pierre di Grimaldi, 47, acceded to the
Monegasque throne on the death of his father, Prince Rainier, and
will now serve as head of state. However, from his 1981 graduation
from Amherst College until today, Grimaldi spent his days courting
models and starlets and hanging out with Formula One drivers.
"I believe that 24 years of luxurious idleness has prepared me for the
minor and largely ceremonial duties incumbent on the Prince Royal,"
Grimaldi commented. While Grimaldi's sisters, Caroline and Stephanie, do not have paid
jobs, they are considered employed due to their roles as Monaco's top
entertainers, providing amusement and breakfast table gossip to the
principality. "Their appeal cuts across all our economic lines, from the
merely incredibly rich to the incomprehensibly wealthy," noted Monegasque
journalist Luc Ayotte.

Pope's Death Vindicates Iraq War, Bush Says
WASHINGTON (DPI) – President Bush told reporters
during a press conference this morning that Pope John Paul II's
opposition to the invasion of Iraq resulted in his decline and
death. "The Lord works in mysterious ways, but there's no
mystery that He smites those who stand in the way of freedom,"
the president said. "The Pope was God's most wanted, his ace
of spades." The president went on to say that Al Gore's
impending baldness is evidence of the Lord's disapproval of his
former rival. "Back down from tyrants like Saddam Hussein
and God will give you a comb-over," the President warned.

High Times Magazine Sponsors Own "Masters" Golf Tournament
Woodstock, NY (DPI) - The First Annual High Times Open teed off during the week of the
Masters, offering an alternative to players who did not qualify for the
Augusta tournament.
Players had to pass a drug test to be legible to play. Testing negative for
marijuana use excluded many promising players. "Yeah, we've got a lot of
amateurs out here," said Wayland "the Inhalin'" Pufferman,
organizer of the tournament. "The only pros to qualify were John Daly
and Chi Chi Rodriguez."
Asked about the condition of the course, Pufferman said, "The course
is righteous, man. Look at the rough! Grade-A hemp three fuckin' feet high,
man. And the greens! We're talkin' numero uno primo shit."
The toughest section of the course -- the 11th, 12th and 13th holes --
are known as Feck Weed Corner. The most dangerous hole of the group was
the 13th, nicknamed the "Bong Hole." Several players suffered
facial injuries taking hits from the cup as play was in progress.
The "Bong Hole" was also the site of an unfortunate incident.
Two golfers were taken to a nearby hospital after being assaulted by their
playing partner, a giggling Chi Chi Rodriguez. Despite missing
his quadruple bogie putt, Chi Chi began performing his flamboyant
sword-fighting routine with his putter, then inexplicably stabbed his fellow
golfers in the testicles.
The first round of the tournament was canceled before completion after players
smoked the 18th green while using their scorecards as rolling papers. Play will
resume tomorrow after replacement grass arrives from Acapulco.
