'HANDS ACROSS LIECHTENSTEIN' RAISES $30 FOR LIECHTENSTEIN CHARITIES
VADUZ, LIECHTENSTEIN--Citizens of the tiny European principality of Liechtenstein turned out in full force Saturday to participate in "Hands Across Liechtenstein," a special fund-raising event that raised more than $30 for Liechtenstein charities. Nearly 150 citizens joined hands in a line that stretched from one end of the country to the other, forming a human chain one-and-a-half football fields long. "This is a great achievement and an inspiring tribute to the great spirit of our people," Liechtenstein's Prince Hans Adam II said. "I can barely see the end of the line from where I stand." The $30 raised will go toward helping Liechtenstein's 12 homeless citizens, as well as its AIDS victim.

TAMMYS OF THE WORLD DEMAND TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
UNITED NATIONS--In a historic United Nations summit Tuesday, the world's 178,000 Tammys convened to demand that they be treated with the same respect afforded the world's approximately 5.1 billion non-Tammys. "Tammy discrimination has been ignored for too long, and it's high time we took action," said summit organizer Tammy Mugler, 24, an assistant manager at an Atlanta-area Orange Julius. "Do you realize that in the entire history of the United States, no Tammy has ever been elected to federal office?" Tammy Halford, 38, a Vienna, VA, data-entry clerk, said: "As soon as people hear my name, they start to make assumptions about me. The Christines and Helens of the world don't know how good they have it." The world's Heidis expressed support for the summit.

FANS BEG AEROSMITH TO GO BACK ON DRUGS
LOS ANGELES--A national coalition of Aerosmith fans, frustrated by the weak, power-ballad-filled mediocrity of such recent Aerosmith albums as Get A Grip and Pump, has collected three million signatures on a petition imploring the veteran rock quintet to return to drug addiction. "We, the united fans of Aerosmith," the petition read in part, "plead with you to resume the type of liberal use of heroin and cocaine that fueled kick-ass albums like 1976's Rocks and classic tunes like 'Back In The Saddle.' We would additionally like to see a marked increase in alcohol abuse, particularly from one-time 'Toxic Twin' Joe Perry, who, regrettably, has not had a monster riff since 1980."

AREA MAN BUSTS HIS ASS ALL DAY, AND FOR WHAT?
DE KALB, IL--It was learned Monday that Ted Moseley, a 34-year-old De Kalb-area construction worker, hauls ass 10, 12 hours a day for his sonofabitch boss, and for what? The report, to be published in full in next Thursday's New York Times, will tell you what: so his skank old lady can spend his hard-earned $6.75 an hour on a $450 vacuum cleaner, and to pay for the neighbor's mailbox that his snot-nosed kid busted. Why Moseley puts up with this shit could not be adequately explained by the report.
