"Second-Greatest Story Ever Told" to Air on ABC
NEW YORK (DPI) - ABC's holiday programming schedule is to include the
long-awaited sequel to the classic "Greatest Story Ever Told," the network
says. Filmed entirely on location in Terre Haute, Ind., the story
is about a man named Tony who buys a truck from a guy his sister
works with, and finds himself
stuck in the parking lot at Burger King because it won't even turn over, though
the lights and radio work. "If you loved the 1965 original, you'll love
the story that came in a close second place," said ABC
spokeswoman
Renee Baker. "The Second-Greatest Story
Ever Told" stars Ving Rhames as Tony and Ralph Fiennes
as the guy at the Jiffy Lube.

Italian Doctor Claims Woman to Give Birth to Human Clown
ROME (DPI) - Dr. Guillermo Andolini announced this week that he has
successfully implanted a human clown embryo in a woman who should
deliver the clown in January. Andolini refused to offer any proof
of his claim that the embryo is a clown except ultrasound tests that
reveal that the embryo is a healthy boy with a red nose and green hair.
Scientists are skeptical of Andolini's claims, noting that all previous
attempts to produce mammal clowns have resulted in birth defects,
including sheep born without floppy red shoes and a dog born with a
deadly allergy to seltzer water.

New Terrorism Policies Make Insurance Agents Even More Annoying
LONG ISLAND, N.Y. (DPI) - No sooner had the ink of
President Bush's signature dried on his new terrorism-insurance legislation
than the nation's insurance
agents swooped into action like vultures tearing into
an antelope carcass.
Insurance agent Henry La Rue, who has already sold
dozens of the new policies, describes them as "a good
way to stand up for America." He also reminds his
clients that he "doesn't sell insurance, he sells
protection from bin Laden."

Bronner Honored by Looney Soapmakers' Guild
ESCONDIDO, Calif. (DPI) - For the 18th year in a row, the Association
of Wacko Batshit Soapmakers honored Dr. Bronner as its Man of the Year at
the group's annual gathering in Los Angeles today. Known for his famous
Pure-Castille "All-One-God-Faith" soap and insane, whacked-out rantings,
Bronner's philosophy and cleaning products have been widely held as an
inspiration to other soapmakers who are a couple volumes short of a library.
Said association President Senor "Bubbles" Blinkwater, "I use Dr. Bronner
for Shave-Shampoo-Massage-Dental! I dash in Hot Water, Towel Massage body
always toward heart! OK! Dilute!"

Carnival Claims Vomiting, Diarrhea Normal on Cruises
MIAMI (DPI) - Carnival Cruises is denying reports that
a virus is the culprit in causing passengers to
experience vomiting and diarrhea, claiming that such
symptoms are instead "normal components of the sea
cruise experience."
A company official claims that diarrhea is a natural
by-product of their ships' disgustingly over-the-top
quantities of food. "You'd spend half of the cruise in
the toilet, too, if you ate eggs benedict every morning
for a week," stated the official.
As for the vomiting, the official said that this was
most likely caused by "excessive consumption of bottom
shelf liquor, or our karaoke night."
