From The Onion, Hard To Tell If Wikipedia Entry On Dada Has Been Vandalized Or Not. Sadly the actual article is boringly factual (or it was; I've had a go at improving it but I doubt it will last. I like the way my version ends with an impassioned yes yes).
My first go didn't last long, but then the punctuation was distracting. I think its better with the punctuation removed entirely before the sort. But should the sort be case sensitive?
YES! Send me a free issue of Seed.
If I like what I see, I'll receive 5 more issues (6 in all) for just $14.95. That's 50% off the cover price! If I'm not completely satisfied, I'll simply write "cancel" on the invoice and owe nothing. The free issue is mine to keep.

Made me laugh out REALLY loud out in a public place (people turning heads)!

Once is ok, but that's getting dangerously close to vandalism.
Step away from the keyboard...

The Onion article has been noted in the discussion:
[Yes indeed. Its a shame that it hasn't been, so far! -W]

Picked the Onion up at the airport and laughed through a bend fold spindle and mutilate flight segment. Still, I would not want to mess with the brave Wikipedia OTRS organization operators. . .

Odd, nobody has added you to the list of identified Dadaists, yet. Perhaps disemvoweling would help?
