Onion-esque

Tonight I finally saw "The Onion" movie and as a big fan of the videos/articles on their site, I got inspired to write a little story of my own...You like?

Normally Funny Man Disappoints

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - A cashier at the local Five-Dollar Store left work disappointed Thursday as an area man known for his humor didn't impress her. Nineteen-year-old Megan Woods said she was approached just after 4 PM by John Tankers who is known by store associates as "Johnny Jokes." The distraught cashier told the police "He's normally funny, but today I didn't even smile."

EBS News scored the first interview with Woods as she told the brave story of how she overcame this tragedy.

"As he approached me, I could see the look on his face, I knew he was going to try to tell a joke," Woods spoke softly. "He asked me if we take Hawaiian money and I told him no because we were in California. That's when he started laughing and saying it was American money, I was devastated."

Area police have yet to announce any formal charges for Tankers as they are still investigating this comedic assault.
