              PEDESTRIAN SERIOUSLY
                   INJURED BY TURNIP

Police are investigating the assault of a man
who was seriously injured after being hit by
a turnip launched by a slingshot Thursday.

The attack  was  apparently  carried out by a
gang whose members have been hurling veg-
gies at random passers-by for several days.

********************
Editor's Comments:
********************
There was an immediate hue-and-cry to control  all  purchase and use of turnips using background checks, fingerprinting, a 24-hour waiting period and mandatory license to carry a concealed turnip.

Cooler heads prevailing, it was determined that Second Amendment rights must  not  be  eroded, so hastily formed congressional commit- tees tabled the issue of turnip control with no further discussion.

You betcha!!

When turnips are outlawed, only outlaws will have turnips!!

Well I never!   I did not think that chickens had any teeth at all!

That goes to show that you learn something every day altho I think I remember an old saying that had to do with hen's teeth being scarce.

I guess it was all a story.

...and?
.
This sounds like a dream vacation to me.
.
Think of it... the sun, the solitude, the ongoing spectacle of sounding whales, the euphony of gently slapping waves against the shattered remnants of your faithful and once sturdy, yet erstwhile craft...
.
To be perfectly honest, a case of Velveeta along with a gallon jar of large Kosher garlic dills would make things that much better.
.
Oh yeah... lest we forget, add in a good supply of Vienna sausage.
.
And then there's the issue of ice for the brewskis...
.
Nahhh - that's asking for way too much.

Let it be...
