- UPI, Chicago
- It's sad but true. The first post was seen by far too many
- people. Despite the attempts to get the facts out and let people know
- that Craig Shergold no longer wants these cards, thousands upon thousands
- of new cards have already been sent to the Post Office, a virtual tidal wave.
- It is expected that this posting to usenet will result, directly and indirectly,
- in over 13 million additional cards to the Shergolds. This has gone on
- long enough.
- Executives for the Royal Marsden Hospital have met with the
- publishers for the Guiness book, the United States Post Office, and none
- other than our own Vice-President. After hours of conferring, this group
- reached only one solution to stop this onslaught of ridiculous mail: Craig
- Shergold must be 'eliminated.'
- Top lieutenants for the Morolto family in Chicago have been dispatched
- to find Mr. Shergold as soon as possible. The Moroltos estimate that the
- job could be completed as soon as Thursday, December 19th. While the
- Administration and Buckingham Palace have officially stated that they "do
- not condone" such violence, they have both, off the record, admitted that
- this was the only feasible method of 'unclogging' the two nations' postal
- systems. Both President Bush and the Queen plan on attending the funeral.
- The parents of Craig are distressed by this peculiar turn of events,
- but, like the governments, acknowledge that this is "probably the only way
- out." While Craig's parents blame neither the governments nor the Hospital,
- nor even the Morolto family for the contract on their son's life, they are
- particularly embittered at Mr. Jack Johnson (email: Jack.Johnson@iphase.infoserv.com) for adding the final straw to the camel's back.
- The Shergolds ask that wreaths and mourning cards be sent to
- Mr. Johnson.
