Los
Angeles (AP)- Members of the California Grocery Workers
Union claimed a man crossed the picket line last week wearing
a superhero outfit and demanding a dialogue with negotiators
in an attempt to end the nearly 5 month old strike involving
70,000 grocery workers.
According to witnesses at a Ralph's store in Sherman Oaks,
the bespectacled man with a "B" insignia on his
chest, stood in the produce section mumbling angrily, while
helping himself to pistachio nuts.
The perpetrator then threatened he would continue to eat
through the mountain of pistachios until the two sides came
to an agreement. By the time the police arrived, the man
escaped but left behind a shirt - torn and missing several
buttons.
A spokesman for the grocery chain called it "coincidental"
the strike ended hours later, but admitted both sides agreed
eating pistachios from a produce display is illegal. Same
with grapes.
Once
again, Bob from Accounting was denied an invitation to
either host or attend the Academy Awards Ceremony held
Sunday at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood. Though
not surprised, Bob still checked his mailbox frequently
during recent weeks in hopes of either winning a sweepstakes
or getting word that Nicole Kidman was ready to start
dating again. A spokesperson for Nicole Kidman just laughed.

I'm taking a day or two off. Screw you.

don't agree with Michael Niederman's review of The Passion
of the Christ and it does not necessarily reflect the
general viewpoint of our website, I do respect his opinion
and his rights to express it. We are a humor magazine and
unfortunately, there's little that's funny about religion
--although we've tried pretty damn hard once or twice...
