Whew! Pass the gin. Time to celebrate! The Spoof writers cleared of any hostile intentions in their professional reporting.
The High Court in London has cleared all The Spoof writers accused of infringing on the private lives of celebrities like Elton John, Prince Harry, and Vladimir Putin.

The order was finally regained after The Spoof conga-line returned to their seats. But some writers quietly ask one another, “Do you think electrocution is possible?”
“Never happened to me,” confessed The Spoof writer whose pseudonym is The Donald BS. The BS does not represent a Bachelor of Science degree.

“Whew,” said The Spoof team. “No parachutes required.”
