Father Time Runs Late
LOS ANGELES (Just Laugh) - It was reported yesterday that Father Time forgot to set his alarm clock yesterday. His boss, the Supreme Being, reported that Father Time was three and a half hours late to his job which caused the time on earth to stand still for the duration of his tardiness. Most people on the third rock from the sun were incredibly agitated with this time lapse. However, as was reported later, those people who were in the dentist office, in rush hour traffic, or hearing stories about their grandmother's miniature elephant collection, failed to notice the time freeze. <<FULL

Woman Disappointed with being Dumped
DES MOINES, Ia. (Just Laugh) - Relationships end all the time.
They can be devastating to some, but for Joely
Mero, an unstable 19-year-old, her last broken
relationship is the final draw.
"I've been dumped many times before. It hurts,
but this last time takes the cake," said Mero,
thinking about converting to lesbianism, but
probably won't because she doesn't like the word
lesbian. <<FULL

Teeny-Tiny Middle-Eastern Countries Still Fighting About Something or Other...
NEW YORK (Just Laugh) - It came to the attention of this reporter, who's extremely desperate for a story, that an unusually high amount of tension still exists among many smaller countries located in the Middle East. While it remains unknown whether this hostile environment is a result of racial hatred, violence in the media or "miscellaneous religious crap," it is becoming increasingly obvious that none of the folks involved will be getting a damn thing for Christmas this year...
Collector Towels Mistaken for Museum Display
CHICAGO (Just Laugh) - Jose Kimbel, a well-known kleptomaniac
from Long Grove, had enough when yet another
houseguest complimented him on his rare set of
hotel towels.
"I have 140 towels from the Hyatt, Holiday Inn,
and the Hilton hotel chains. I never thought I
had a problem until guests praised the set," said
a disgusted Kimbel, now in group therapy. <<FULL

Senior Citizens Accidentally Purchase "Leftover" WorldCom Stock
ST. PETERSBURG, Fl (Just Laugh) - Only minutes before the second discovery of billion-dollar errors in the recent WorldCom bankruptcy scandal, an extremely odd purchase request reached the floors on Wall Street...
It had been a very quiet day at the Littlefolk Senior Center in Southern Florida. A few games of pinocle, a short walk around the garden, and an investment in the second largest bankrupt corporation in U.S. history -- all over a simple survey. <<FULL

Updates:
08.28.02 - Hehehe...writers beating deadlines - there's a first! Nevertheless, the next five chapters of A Tale of Two Summers have been placed online, so if you haven't yet jumped on the bandwagon, go grab a bowl of popcorn - you've got about twenty chapters to read! We've only got a few more weeks until the cover is blown off the grand finale, so stay tuned...
We're also making some long-overdue updates to our Downloads section, beginning with our featured screen savers. You can now find the creations of award-winning R.I. Soft Systems here, so click on over there and get downloading!
08.14.02 - Wow! Summer's nearly over and just what to we have to show for it? Unlike last year, we're all happy to admit that we didn't spend nearly as much time in front of our computers, even getting the chance to go outside once or twice! It doesn't seem like we cranked out nearly as many features over the last few months, but it's safe to say that we're a bit more than happy with those which we did put together...
A Tale of Two Summers: The chapter count is now up to fifteen and we're just about nearing the end of this project as the summer rolls to a finish. There are still a few more twists in store...some that the writers don't even know about yet, and we guarantee that this will be an adventure you won't forget soon enough!
2nd Annual Just Laugh Weenie Awards: Well, the plan was to have the nominees ready to announce in this very issue, but we're going to need a little more time, ok? We probably would've had gotten everything prepared with time to spare, except for the fact that we've been spending the last week and a half trying to decide on an alternate category because not a single one of you had the guts to submit your photos for Just Laugh's Sexiest Reader - shame on you! It's too bad, really, because if even one person had sent in their stuff, we pretty much would've had to award them the prize, anyways... Anywho, the real list of nominees should be available sometime early next week and voting will begin soon!
Yeah, we did take a bit more time off than usual this summer, but we've also got some great things already lined up for the fall and winter, and as long as the weather sucks we should be able to get tons of stuff done! We'll shed a little more light on the subject after the Weenies have commenced, so until then...
