'The News from Lake Wobegon'

It's hard to tell when LW people are angry. Pastor lnqvuist heard a woman cry out to the Lord. He turned and walked into a parking meter. Judy was just coming home and he walked with a limp. Clarence Bunsen was in the Chatterbox picking away at a tooth when the gold cap came off. He went to post office to check for mail. Bob Bowser, the postmaster, invited them for dinner. Clarence could not think of a good lie. They last visited the Bowsers in 1966. Clarence took four rum-filled chocolates to help pass the time. After dinner, Bonnie sat at her new electric organ. Their new lamp modulated with the music. Bonnie Bowser had thrown out Bob's favorite sofa. Clarence was feeling bad and he was walking very late at night. GK can not dance because of his strict Christian upbringing. GK's first contact with girls was on the school bus. He was the last person picked up and there were no seats. He had to push his way into a seat and the girls pushed back. Clarence went to a dentist in St. Cloud who fixed the broken tooth in half an hour and it did not hurt at all. He decided to go into the Hair Today and Gone Tomorrow woman's barber shop. Candy, the girl barber, with pink hair gave him an awful hair cut. (Not finished.)
