…they wandered around dazed and confused, wondering what the plotline to this story is. Sort of like a Madonna movie.

…angry members of the PGA Senior golf tour, who had just discovered that were being asked to pay for their continental breakfast buffets by the tournament managers. Waving five irons and muttering dire threats, they advanced on a hapless PGA official. Nixon, realized that something had to be done immediately. Summoning up his many years of experience as one of our most revered and obnoxious elected officials, he rushed to the front of the enraged crowd, held up his hand for quiet, and began to speak. “Gentlemen”, he said…

~ I am not a fried cheese sandwich! This bizzare statement so stunned the golfers that they were easy prey for the ginsu-snowmen. Gore, hairpieces, and bad plaid flew in all directions as the snowmen waded into the knickers-clad crowd. Al picked himeself off the floor and wondered how the hell he wound up in _this_ story.

He wasn’t injured in the impact, but he apparently damaged an air-conditioner control unit that provided climate control to the adjoining room. In this room was a convention of young professional women, all in prim business outfits and all with considerably shapely figures and lovely faces.
