Existence of Dirt Cove questioned

by Wilson Wrightwrub, Publisher/Editor, Dirt Cove Press

Dirt Covians shocked, appalled
Residents of Dirt Cove were shocked and appalled today over allegations by a university professor that their community is fictional.

Professor professes
Professor Pascal Moriarity is a Professor of Newfoundology at the Memorial University of Newfoundland Folklore Department. "This website promotes a negative image of the Newfoundland people," professed the professor from an office filled with authentic Newfoundland things and the shrunken heads of baymen. "This fictional town promotes a negative stereotype of Newfoundlanders being, well ... stunned. As a Newfoundlander I am outraged."

The professor, who recently immigrated from the UK, suggested that the Dirt Cove website be taken down immediately, or at least replaced with pictures of icebergs and pretty fiddlers.

Mayor not fictional, outraged Mayor insists
"I am not fictional!" Mayor Wallace "Uncle Wally" Pippy, stated today in an interview at his tavern. "Wait a minute ... do make believe people pay taxes? No? Then I am fictional."

Who drank all that beer?
"If I don't exist, then who drank all that beer?" challenged William "Big Bill" Wrongrub, proudly displaying a large collection of empties on his table. "I'd like to see that school teacher explain that."
