Charles: The<br />
forgotten man<br />
By Roy Alpain<br />
In an attempt to resurrect his flagging<br />
image and curry favour <strong>with</strong> a Kate and<br />
William-obsessed public, Prince Charles<br />
has announced he plans to live as a homeless<br />
man in London for 48 hours.<br />
An itinerary released by the Prince of<br />
Wales private secretary reveals that Prince<br />
Charles wants to pass two consecutive<br />
afternoons eating Duchy Originals lemon<br />
curd and bickies outside the Waitrose outlet<br />
at Walton-on-Thames between 2-3:15.<br />
“Perhaps the Prince of Wales may prefer<br />
high tea instead. The formal arrangements<br />
are subject to his mother’s approval,<br />
of course,” the private secretary<br />
acknowledged.<br />
Prince Charles’s wife Camilla, the Duchess<br />
of Cornwall, will be making regular<br />
visits in an armoured Rolls Royce to protect<br />
her from angry students and other<br />
impetuous <strong>com</strong>moners.<br />
Camilla is expected to deliver Charles<br />
regular glasses of Duchy Original Organic<br />
Select Ale, so as to prevent the parching of<br />
his royal throat. “We’ve added organic oats<br />
and barley,” Camilla observed, “to create<br />
a pleasing, dark ruby brew.”<br />
Every 90 minutes Charles will be airlifted<br />
to a remote military base in North England<br />
to undergo a barrage of tests to ensure<br />
that England’s heir to the throne is still very<br />
much alive.<br />
“Charles enjoys perfect health, thanks<br />
to daily breakfasts of Duchy Original organic<br />
and free-range British bacon, which<br />
doesn’t leave a white scummy residue on<br />
your frying pan,” Camilla explained.<br />
If his homeless experiment proves to be<br />
a success, Prince Charles may consider<br />
expanding his Duchy Originals business<br />
empire, which he established in 1990, to<br />
include rags for street people, Camilla revealed.<br />
“The rags would be purely organic<br />
cotton, of course.”<br />
The Prince’s plan met <strong>with</strong> mixed reaction<br />
on the street. “Who cares about<br />
Charles? He should sod off, the bugger,”<br />
Oswald Perriwinkle, a City banker,<br />
weighed in.<br />
“Can’t be disappear for longer than 48<br />
hours?” asked one girl who identified herself<br />
as Brittney Fairweather-Follows, an<br />
American. “I only care about Will and Kate.”<br />
JUST NOT SO STORIES<br />
(YES, WE MAKE THEM UP)<br />
Planet Trump<br />
By I.M. Birther<br />
“The world is now a safer<br />
place,” U.S. President Barack<br />
Obama declared, moments after<br />
he received official verification<br />
that Shuttle Endeavour took<br />
off <strong>with</strong> Donald Trump aboard.<br />
Shortly after the President announced,<br />
“Donald Trump has<br />
left the planet,” jubilant crowds<br />
began to form outside the White<br />
House in celebration. Authorities<br />
closed Times Square to allow<br />
for a spontaneous street<br />
party led by <strong>com</strong>edian Chris<br />
Rock.<br />
“Can you imagine what that<br />
hair must look like in zero gravity?”<br />
Rock quipped. “Probably<br />
the same as it looks down here.<br />
Awful!”<br />
To appease skeptics who believe<br />
it all a well-orchestrated<br />
publicity stunt, NASA has released<br />
photos of a smiling<br />
Trump floating in a space suit<br />
<strong>with</strong> the moon visible in a porthole<br />
behind his shoulder.<br />
Via an audio interview <strong>with</strong> Fox<br />
News, Trump confessed, “I’ve<br />
had some far-out ideas before,<br />
but this new space kick is really out of this<br />
world!”<br />
Trump laughed off suggestions from the<br />
Fox interviewer that he was going to build<br />
an intergalaxatic casino beside the International<br />
Space Station.<br />
“You can bet I’m thinking big,” Trump replied.<br />
“The world look so small from out<br />
Bum in seat<br />
By Moore Blackouts<br />
Days after being named chair of Nova<br />
Scotia Power, ABCO president and Nova<br />
Scotia Business Inc. chair Jim Eisenhauer<br />
revealed his innovative new surgery to the<br />
press.<br />
According to doctors at Lunenburg’s<br />
Fishermen’s Memorial Hospital,<br />
Eisenhauer has be<strong>com</strong>e the world’s first<br />
successful chair transplant patient.<br />
here, I’m definitely buying the Great Wall<br />
of China after I return to Earth.”<br />
Last minute negotiations by the American<br />
tycoon and presidential-hopeful to<br />
board the shuttle’s final launch nearly collapsed<br />
after Trump demanded to see the<br />
birth certificate of each member of NASA’s<br />
ground crew.<br />
“The chair is surgically attached to my<br />
buttocks,” a beaming Eisenhauer explained.<br />
“That way I can go from meeting<br />
to meeting and not waste precious moments<br />
sitting down. I can get down to business<br />
at the drop of my hat, I guess I mean,<br />
at the drop of my arse.”<br />
As news of Eisenhauer’s efficiency-enhancing<br />
anatomy spread, share prices for<br />
NSP’s parent <strong>com</strong>pany Emera rose $0.27<br />
on the TSX.<br />
“It’s as plain as the chair beneath my<br />
legs,” Eisenhauer quipped. “Investors want<br />
to give me a standing ovation.”<br />
