'The News from Lake Wobegon'

People tired of picking vegetables. Something down deep in each of us wants to be profligate. GK throws tomato at sister; he's still waiting to be sorry. Dorothy at Chatterbox took off and her daughter Amy filling in. She made green-bean casserole. Barb Peterson had it and it reminder her of mother, Dotty. Dotty was cremated and put in hole in bowling ball. Lady's quilting circle quilts going to criminals to carry silverware. John Tollefson comes to visit sister Judy Ingqvist. Judy put a little vodka in fruit punch. John lights farts on fire. Apples are on sale at Ralph's Pretty Good Grocery. After eating, people leave Lake Wobegon. Warmth depresses IQ. Italy produces tenors, and only one physicist. Mr. Bouser retired from post office and had party for him. Darlene from Chatterbox took job. Mr. Bouser went fishing and pulled up bowling ball and remembered Dotty. Dotty had friend Rahul.
