That vaunted local literary organization, MEWS, has just published the humor issue of its literary journal, The Mewsings. Edited by our very own Fran Liscio, it includes Joan Garry's amusing tale of shopping with her teenage son for a cup (yes, that kind), an interesting sexual fantasy from Miss Martta, and several sendups on Major League Baseball.
Most amusing of all may be Fran's introductory opus on what just might be funny.

Creationism Museum? Now that's funny.
Sexual fantasy?! LOL...Debbie, you're really selling the sizzle over the steak here. Well, hey, if it get's people to check out the humor issue, then so be it.
