- I'm shipping off another letter to Dave today, with some articles on
- exploding things. I thought I should let you all know so you can watch
- for my name in his column <g>
-
- Two of the articles I wrote for the Winnipeg Free Press last year,
- regarding teddy bears being given out by the Salvation Army. A woman
- called the newsroom and said she was told the bears would explode.
- Aww-right! I said to my editor, "This sounds like it belongs in a Dave
- Barry column." So my editor told me to call Dave up and get a quote!
- (I did, but I only got the machine. He never called me back. Oh well).
-
- In the end, the bears only let off a puff of smoke when you installed
- the batteries. No exploding bear bits. :(
-
- The other article is from yeterday's Ottawa Sun. A magician was
- injured over the weekend when his magic wand exploded. I told Dave it
- would have been much funnier if his assistant had exploded.
-
- ;"Now I will saw my lovely assistant in half."
- <saw> <saw> <BOOOOOOOM!>
- "EEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!"
-
- I also asked Dave to pop up here and give us repeated convulsions with
- his mere appearance. :)
