 Trojan Discontinues Lord of the Rings Condoms  LOS ANGELES (DPI) - Trojan, the nation's largest condom manufacturer, will discontinue its series of Lord of the Rings condoms, company officials announced this week. "Despite the success of the movie and our numerous promotional booths at comicons and Tolkien Society meetings throughout the country, the Lord of the Rings series has been an inexplicable failure," said Trojan president Bert Fowler. Although sales figures for the fantasy-based prophylactics did not meet Trojan's goals, more than a few Tolkien fans purchased the Elvish-scripted condoms. "I bought a pack of ribbed Gandalfs," said Dan Murphy of Columbia, SC. "I put them on my bookshelf between my autographed Dr. Who script and my Babylon 5 action mug."

The company's ground-based management had refused the pilots' immediate demand for a 10-percent increase in salary. The plane was eventually landed by 68-year-old passenger Edna Westport, whose only previous flying experience was being a big fan of the Hot Shots and Iron Eagle movies. The landing was uneventful except for a scare as yarn became tangled in the control yoke. Contract negotiations with the pilots are to continue.

For months, professional hecklers have been arriving at the palace door to strut about, taunting the Iraqi leader in an effort to make him do something rash enough to lead the U.S. into war unilaterally. So far, despite repeatedly being told that his mustache resembles a used shoeshine brush and that his mother likes to show her large ankles in public, Hussein has done nothing more provocative than shoot the taunter. Sources say the next step is to have an agent infiltrate Hussein's eating area and grab his Eggo toaster waffle every morning as he is reaching for it.

"Looking back at last year's market, flag sales went up an amazing 2500 percent near the middle of September, so like Christmas sales in December and home sales in May, it seems September is a peak time for flag sales," said one investor. "With thousands of dollars worth of flags stored up, I expect to retire after this year's flag boom." According to WorldCom accountants, executives have invested $25 million in nearly eight flags.

With a sign language of more than 1,000 words, Koko was famous for fusing American Sign Language (ASL) and her own symbols. With a core vocabulary of approximately 240 sex-related and 210 violence-related words, the average domestic publication now communicates less than the famous lowland gorilla. Koko was able to tell researchers, "Koko want fresh fruit, very good to eat." Popular men's magazine Maxim, by contrast, is able to communicate only, "Tits big." Mamie Alfredson, spokesperson for the Assocation of American Publishers, said, "TEN HOT NEW SUMMER LOOKS!"

Gone are the horn-rimmed glasses and cheap tennis shoes, said institute spokesman Charles Tsung. "We placed video cameras outside of Disney Stores for a year to get a more accurate profile." While geeks are varied, they could all be identified by one item: fanny packs used to haul around gadgets and nasal sprays. Says Tsung, "we can place tracking devices in the lining of the packs and get far more pinpointed movements in the wild than our experiment tracking minivans." (Reported by Davejames) |
