The big dogs are off the porch after the victory by Sadie the Scottish terrier in the recent Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in New York City.

Larger breeds say they are mad enough to eat Christmas tree ornaments and are demanding their own national event in the wake of yet another triumph by a pooch no bigger than a half gallon of ice cream.

“Every year it’s the same thing,” said group spokesdog Roofus, a 125-pound bloodhound.

“We win our groups then some old lady in a blue dress gives the big prize to some itsy-bitsy Pomeranian or awful little Shih Tzu. Quite frankly, we big dogs have had it.”

Sources say resentment has been building for dog years among your Great Danes, your Bernese Mountain Dogs, your Rhodesian Ridgebacks, your Irish wolfhounds and other breeds the size of small ponies.

“We were supposed to get all lathered up when that beagle won best in show a couple of years ago,” said Hooker, a Siberian Husky.

“I mean, he was a nice dog and all but he could still hide behind my water bowl. It’s sizeism, pure and simple.”

“We’re not asking for much,” said Fridge, a Mastiff with a head the size of a bar stool. “Just give us our own show with no yappy little dogs who look like sponges. In our show, the dogs have to be big enough to take up the whole back seat in the minivan.”

Most Pizza Deals Don't Add Up
Mar. 8th, 2010

Pizza industry officials acknowledge that the ferocious competition among pizza chains for shares of the $30 billion market has led to a growing revenue crisis.

“Turns out we’ve been giving the darn things away,” said Leonard Foccacio, a spokesman for the Guido Pizza Institute in Boonton, New Jersey.

“Frankly we got a little carried away with the two-for-one and three-for-one and the extra toppings and the free hot wings and the cinnamon rolls and the two-liter freebie of soda pop.” read more »

Tennis Players Seek Relocation
Mar. 7th, 2010

Professional tennis players from the small countries of the world, those ones you can’t even pronounce, all agree on one thing: the location of professional tennis tournaments needs to change.

Tournaments are currently held in a select group of European countries and the United States, and players from Tiwihita, Hebekistan, and Nuhara are joining together to form the Players for the Relocation of Tennis Tournaments (PRTT).

“I’m tired of hanging out in the same cities every year - Paris, New York, London - it’s time we go for more exotic locations,” said Nuharan tennis pro Ludwig Leddleton. read more »

Hummer Becomes A Bummer
Mar. 4th, 2010

Auto industry executives are poised to replace the soon-to-disappear Hummer with a new model designed to reflect the current state of U.S. manufacturing – the Bummer.

The macho Hummer, introduced in 1992 with the backing of a certain heavily-accented actor-governor from the Left Coast, has gone to the big impound lot in the sky, with sales falling like approval ratings for Congress.

“We were looking for a replacement vehicle that might combine the waste and inefficiency of the Hummer with the lack of dependability of a Saab and the recall potential of the Toyota,” said auto industry consultant Edsall W. Brakeshaft. read more »

Don't Mess With Our Hot Dogs!
Mar. 1st, 2010

Thousands of kids are expected to mass outside a sprawling Cineplex in suburban Chicago next week to protest attacks on their favorite food – the hot dog.

“We like hot dogs,’ said group spokeskid Fenway Park, who is seven years old.

“We like them pretty much three times a day, usually with fries, and we don’t want some vegetable-eating grownups messing with our faves.” read more »
