Setting the glass down and leaning back with a satisfied smacking of his lips, Mr. Putin then continued discussions of the Kremlin’s plan to finish annexing Crimea.

NEW YORK – A fire Monday morning destroyed an office building on the 2300 block of 34th Street, leaving seven dead and 18 in the hospital. Office workers were unaware of the fire until smoke was spotted coming under a door due to the fire alarm system’s failure to activate. “I don’t know what happened,” said a distraught fire alarm. “I’ve nailed every single drill for the last five years, and I guess I just panicked.”

It was a cold, clear night in 1998 when forty-five crates of top-grade bananas went missing from the state banana reserve. Five months later, Mr. Coco M. Sillybuns was behind bars, where he’s been for the last 16 years. Then, in 2007, Mr. Sillybuns heard from a lawyer who has been looking into the case. Due to new evidence that had come up, Mr. Sillybuns’ case was going to the state’s clemency board for consideration. Finally, last week the board made a ruling. “Due to some very moving testimony, and a considerable amount of new evidence, we have no choice…

After some careful self-reflection, a mirror realized things would have turned out better if it had just gone to college like its cousin Joey, who gets to work in that four-star hotel in New York, and just thinks he’s so cool, and never shuts up about how much better it is in the big city.

“If Baron Davis can have his contract removed from the salary cap number, I don’t see why we can’t load up Mark Teixeira with thoroughbred levels of pancuronium bromide,” said a team spokesman in the New York Yankees’ report to Major League Baseball.

A man watching the 1993 action/thriller film Jurassic Park reported that if he was in charge, things would have turned out differently. “It was that Nedry guy,” said a confident Jeff Baker, as he momentarily glanced away from his television screen. “Hammond keeps saying they ‘spared no expense,’ but if that’s true, then why hire the lowest bidder for a key staff position?” “Plus, why even have carnivores?  They’re just going to make trouble,” Mr. Baker said, “What they should have done is start with herbivores, then add the more dangerous dinosaurs later.” Turning back to the TV, he added, “If they just…
