On Wednesday, Chicago police were called in to inves- tigate a "very
suspicious green substance" on the sidewalk.
IT WAS GUACAMOLE!
We are reaching near hysterical proportions here. A reader of
Bizarre News recently purchased CDs and a camera from our
e-commerce department. Having forgotten that he had ordered several CDs and a
free camera from us, he called the police who promptly came
to his house, took the box out to a field and blew it up. After
sifting through the bits of camera and melted CDs he remembered
the purchase and called us to report the incident and ask
for the product to be replaced. I know we are all a little
bit on edge, but if this is how we are answering the call
from our President to be "cautious", we are
headed for a tough winter.
How about the two guys on a plane who
"looked suspicious" to a couple of passengers? They
reported this suspicious behavior (they were speaking in a
foreign language and were gently rocking back and forth) so
the two gentlemen were escorted off the plane. They were two
Orthodox Jews praying...
Then there is Steve Robertson, the hapless computer salesman. He
was on a flight headed for Las Vegas. While boarding the plane,
he saw a buddy several rows to the rear. His buddy's name?
Jack Simpson. As luck would have it, Steve yelled to his
buddy with a hearty smile only a salesman could muster, Hi...Jack!
Three passengers jumped on him and beat the guy to a pulp.
And the oddest "call to an authority" had to be the lady who
received a package in the mail. She actually called with a
frantic voice:
Caller: Hello, I don't know what to do. I have a leaky box.
911 Operator: Pardon me?
Caller: I said... I have a leaky box! WHAT DO I DO?
So, before you call the authorities...GET A GRIP folks.

CHICAGO - The war on terrorism took a strange and sad turn Friday when
airline officials at O'Hare International Airport refused to let a 73-year-old
grandmother board her plane as she had in her possession two, six-inch knitting
needles.
Apparently authorities were worried that she might knit an Afghan.
Osama bin Laden, not feeling well and concerned about his
mortality, goes to consult a psychic about the date of his death. Closing her
eyes and silently reaching into the realm of the future, she finds the answer.
"You will die on an American holiday." "Which one?" Osama
bin Laden asks nervously. "Oh, don't worry, you've never heard of it, it
hasn't been invented yet." replied the psychic.
