No Toilet Paper For You
=================================
Waunda Briggs called her two daughters Tuesday with a late-night
emergency. They were down to one roll of toilet paper. Get some more.
No problem, they said.
Thirty minutes later, the phone rang.
“Mom, they are refusing to sell me the toilet paper,” Briggs’
20-year-old daughter told her.
The clerk at Top Food and Drug refused to sell the 24-pack of toilet
paper, pointing to a Snohomish police request that area stores not sell
toilet paper to youngsters late at night.

Boy Kills Chimp – It Was Asking For It
=================================
One of the perks of living in her neighborhood, Lynn Boischel says, is

the street to take in the madcap scene: chimpanzees heading out on a
riding mower, cutting erratic patterns across the grass.
“‘I just got myself a monkey’ is what he said,”

Joy Riding With Style and Corpses
=================================
A hearse loaded with flowers is not the kind of wheels you like to be
in when you pull up alongside a group of girls, or guys, and say, “Hey,
want a ride?”
But a couple of young men jumped into just such a conveyance Saturday
morning outside of a church in Reading – just as a funeral director was
about to load a body into it – and peeled away.

Most of Earth’s defense squadron becomes incapacitated after ingesting poisoned food discs. Buck travels to the planet of the food’s origin, Vistula, with Wilma and flight instructor Duke Danton (Groh), an old boyfriend of Wilma’s.

With so few fighter pilots, Earth’s defense force is now outnumbered 10-to-1. Buck must rescue Wilma from Kaleel’s mountain fortress and destroy the fleet before they can reach Earth.
