Jesus And The Apostles Versus The Dragons.
“Jesus,” said Peter, “How are we going to keep this out of the papers?” “What papers?” wondered Jesus, but He knew that someday ‘the papers’ would be invented and that someday even further everyone would blame the Internet for killing off papers, only He wasn’t going to stop the Internet from being invented, just delay it past the 1970s. God only knows why THAT was the plan, and He wouldn’t tell Jesus.

“I Have Been Waiting So Long For My Prime Rib & Chicken Sizzlin’ Skillet, I Have Been Able To Read 7 Wikipedia Articles Chosen At Random.”
I really think that this is ridiculous, don’t you honey? I mean, I have now just finished my seventh Wikipedia article at random, reading on my phone like a sucker, stuck in this booth and wondering if I should get a second refill of my diet Coke ™ before my food even arrives.

Buying a Pet To Fill My Empty Heart
Finding my days were empty and filled with nothing but the excruciating tedium of my own company, I bought a pet. I read online that pets help fulfil human’s base social needs when another person isn’t there to do it. Also, animals require much less effort than people. You can treat animals terrible and they’ll think no worse of you, as long as you keep them fed and rub their bellies once in a while.

An Adult Letter to Santa. Top Story - December 2021.
Dear Santa, I know I’ve been saying for a while that I will call, or text, or even write. Life has been so busy I haven't had the time to do any of those things, no matter how often I tell my children I will. Sometimes I think they try to keep me busy on purpose, so I don't have the opportunity to. I'm sure you can figure out why as you see everything. Now that I have a moment to myself, I figured it was time to truly reach out. There are just a few things I want to discuss with you, and I hope you take the time to consider them all. It really isn't anything major. I'm just making sure we are on the same page to ensure a fantastic holiday for everyone.

Rumpelstiltskin Returns
The castle was empty. Only the occasional servant seen, dressed in black. Certain portraits on the walls shielded with darkened curtains, as tradition dictates. Mourners poured across castle grounds in lines of ebony, onyx, jet, raven - so many shades of black. Veiled women dabbed at their watery eyes. Men walked with their heads hung low. Only footsteps and the occasional sniffle echoed through the town as the citizens returned to their homes. Even the children were unrealistically silent. Several carriages carried off the important, the elderly, and those from lands far, far away.

Subtle
The young woman's heels clicked as she strolled down the water's edge to the Ponte 16. The white, yellow, and burgundy building cast a shadow of jagged rectangles over her, the shade checkered with pale squares where the sun shone through the windows. As she sauntered between the columns framing the geometric, fluorescent magenta crystal ball, its fiery rays rippled on the silver cherry blossoms embroidered onto her dark blue qipao.

The Oh So Potted Moose. Top Story - December 2021.
Preacher Steve was driving the Parks Highway. The cruise control set at 69, his favorite number. He’d reached the midway point between Fairbanks and Nenana. That’s Nenana, rhymes with banana.

But, there are several practical jokes out there, that will stand forever in the chronicles of sheer brilliance and creativity. Jokes which cause one to stretch one’s imagination so far, that it is truly difficult to believe the jokes themselves, much less the accounts of them, are actually true.
