CHICAGO - The Chicago Park District has sent its workers on a rabbit hunt. They are trapping wild bunnies who are munching their way through the foliage of a downtown park at a cost of thousands of dollars.

All they have to do is stop trying to trap the local coyotes, which otherwise would make short work of those rabbits.

Why are they worried about a few bunnies, after all that is what made the town famous.

To: Zavien Doombringer
First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.

Amen.
