It was written by Martha A. Ballou, of Minneapolis. Now that we know that O.J. Simpson did not kill Ron and Nicole, and we know that O.J. has made finding their killers his No. 1 goal, and that the Los Angeles Police Department is not going to help, the people in our office decided to help find the real killers. Our nominees are: 1) Maggie Simpson; 2) the guy on the grassy knoll; 3) the one-armed man, and 4) Professor Plum in the library with the knife. = = = = From: mcfar@netcom.com (Lincoln Randall McFarland) Subject: Marc Furman Joke Found in a SJ Mercury article (a couple of weeks back) about Marc Furman retiring to Idaho: Q: How can you tell it is spring in Idaho?

Brought in Johnny Carson and Ed McMahon to do "Karnac the Magnificent" routine with verdict envelope. 9. Had the Dancing Itos do a farewell performance before reading the verdict. 8. "And the Oscar goes to Leslie Nielsen for Naked Gun 33 1/3rd!" 7. Performed seance to contact ghost of Raymond Burr for patented Perry Mason last moment courtroom theatrics. 6. Jumped up and pointed at one-armed man in courtroom. 5. Dismissed two more jurors, just for old times sake. 4. As payback to media coverage announces that he is now banning cameras from the courtroom. 3. Announced verdict would be withheld until 7:54 p.m. so it could be used on that night's Final Jeopardy! ("And remember to phrase the verdict in the form of a question.") 2. Pointedly reminded everyone he has legal right to overrule jury's verdict. 1.
