Area Man Hides Coffee Stain

Worcester, MA -- Area man Jim, 32, successfully washed out most of a coffee stain he made on a dresser. He thinks it will pass, though his wife will know it was him. She does not bring coffee into the bedroom or bath room, where the coffee ended up during the cleanup phase. The original stain was a cm in diameter at the arrow.

It's a European printed fabric. Swedish, or Swiss or something. "She got it in Boston, I was not on that trip."

Area Banjoist Invents Weird Ass Bass Tuning

Cedar Rapids, IA -- Area banjoist "Bill", who plays in all local bluegrass outfits has also expanded to playing bass in country bands. He claims he had a hard time at first, but then moved the bass high string to the spot where his thumb would play it and where the lowest string normally is. This way he can play the high bass notes with a thumb or thumb pick. Some of the other strings are also changed but he is not giving details at this time. "It works for me," he claims. The band does not really care, as long as he plays the root note of the chord often enough to keep the song in shape.

Bear Coordinator bans Kentucky Bear Hunting

Frankfort, KY – Following the recent events surrounding federal law and stepping on Kentucky toes for marriage licences, State Bear Coordinator Sally Field, 45, has picked up the courage to announce there will be no bear hunting permits. She claims to be troubled by the killing of bears and is a vegtarian herself. She and her lesbian partner Myra have closed the office and made life safe for the 500-700 bears in the state. Hikers and travelers are allowed to carry weapons. This is Kentucky after all. And they are allowed to shoot a bear that attacks them. But they will then surrender the carcass to the state and the crime scene will be thorougly investigated. Rifle scopes and such will not be permitted. Also, shooting a bear a hunter ”thought was a deer” will carry a stiff fine. Sally and her partner will be out in the field working to protect mother bears and their cubs.

Sally has no authority to ban hunting completely and her decision does not get the backing of university ecologists. However, she is an elected official and the hunters will need the Kentucky legislature or the next ballot fo remove her.
