Dick Vitale's Wife Tires of Sexual Commentary
NEW YORK (DPI) - "Whether awesome or not," said a candid Lorraine Vitale in
an interview with Daily Probe sports staff, "I do not appreciate Dick's
affirmation of my performance." Mrs. Vitale indicated she was particularly
annoyed by the catch phrases assigned by the ESPN announcer to their most
intimate acts. While declining to be specific, Mrs. Vitale confessed that
terms such as "rim sweeper," "cream puff," "doughnut time," and "slam, bam, cram" belonged in the announcer's booth, not the bedroom. Mrs. Vitale decline to move beyond a general criticism, although she did suggest that
Mr. Vitale's personal preferences gave a new twist to his oft-used "diaper
dandy" catch phrase.

Study: Amish Internet Usage Remains Steady
Scientist Keeps Falling Short of "Mad" Status
TRANSYLVANIA (DPI) - Dr. Edgar Vantonian's most recent
attempt at claiming "mad" status went awry this week
when the mildly eccentric scientist accidentally
incinerated a meteor bound for earth. "I built that
laser to destroy the moon," the Doctor complained from
his sinister mountaintop laboratory, "and I saved the
world from certain doom instead. This is worse than
the time I tried creating the world's most powerful
biological weapon and invented marshmallow puff."
Other failed attempts at becoming known as "evil" and
"diabolical" have involved a sinister robot army that
became last Christmas' hottest toy craze, and a race
of psychic dogs now used to assist the handicapped.

FDA Approves Powerful New Placebo
WASHINGTON (DPI) - Pharmaceutical giant Bayer won final FDA approval today
for its new placebo, "Ipitiyanol", which is the first placebo to
intentionally induce side effects. "Ipitiyanol can cause a full range of
reactions," said Doctor John Drew of the University of Oregon, "including
nausea, diarrhea, and even addiction. This is great news for the
drug-testing community, as any testing control group will now actually
believe they are taking the real drug." One of the patients from final study
confirmed this assessment, "After the nasty rash, temporary blindness, and
withdrawal seizures I certainly didn't think I was just taking a placebo."

Middle East Effigy Inventories Running Low
TEL AVIV (DPI) - Due to increasing Middle East tensions, effigy retailers
throughout the region are finding it difficult to maintain stocks of crude
likenesses. "They're flying off the shelves!" said market owner Ranaan
Samir. "Bush, Sharon, Arafat. Even old Reagans from the backroom are being
snatched up." Effigy quality has declined as manufacturers struggle to meet
demand. "This is a bunch of old rags sewn together," bemoaned a Palestinian
protester as he shook his latest purchase. "You can't even tell who it's
supposed to be. We should make an effigy of the man who made this effigy and
burn it!" Added a passing protester, "Hey, that looks like Richard Gere."

Salvation, KISS Armies to Merge
NEW YORK (DPI) - One of America's strongest advocates for the homeless has
consolidated with the nation's largest heavy metal fan club this week, as
the Salvation Army and the KISS Army announced an upcoming merger.
According to experts, the Salvation Army should benefit from the KISS Army's
large membership, which could provide thousands of new head-banging
bell ringers during Christmas season. In addition, KISS Army members have
committed to donating over 250,000 worn-out black concert T-shirts to the
Salvation Army's second-hand clothing stores. Furthermore, the KISS Army
should benefit from the Salvation Army's large, established infrastructure
and nationwide chain of detox centers and transient housing facilities.

Argentina Predicts Falklands Like Them Better Than the UK
Buenos Aires (DPI) - Moments before his overthrow, Argentine President
Eduardo Duhalde predicted that the Falkland Islands will one day choose to
be part of Argentina. Duhalde's successor then said that Argentina and the
Falklands could peacefully co-exist side by side. The two Presidents after
that both believed that military invasion was the only course. This was
followed by a President who believed the islanders should each be given 1
million dollars to join Argentina. A new President replaced him in record
time. The Governor of the Falklands stated "With the shape they're in we
should probably invade them."

Normal, Pleasant Guy Discovered in Next Seat
ATLANTA (DPI) - A completely normal and personable guy has been discovered
in the next seat on a recent Delta Airlines flight from Philadelphia to
Atlanta. Lacking any type of annoying personal habit or hygiene issue, the
guy spent much of the flight reading a magazine and casually chatting in a
non-invasive and charming manner. His conversation reportedly was about
topics
that had nothing to do with any type of Loch Ness conspiracy theory.
Clean, inconspicuously-dressed and lacking in any discernible odor
whatsoever, the
guy was last seen exiting the aircraft with a kind "goodbye" and a smile,
leaving behind no type of Amway literature materials at all.

Video Game to Blame in Latest Middle East Conflict
JERUSALEM (DPI) - Officials claimed today that because of the two devices'
proximity in the Israeli Army Headquarters, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon
mistakenly believed he was playing the popular Israeli video game "Kill
Arafat", set to the "smoldering rubble" level of difficulty, instead of
issuing real world commands through the Army's computerized Strategic Troop
Interface Device. When told of his mistake, which caused the Israeli
military to run riot over Palestinian West Bank territory, Sharon answered
simply, "I can't hit 'pause', the tanks are already on their way. What's a
man to do?"
