Making the list--badly dressed, but happy

Always pleased to find something easily plagiarized, we turn to a fellow blogger to learn about the ten happiest toilers. The top four, guaranteed to keep one in a constant state of euphoria, are clergy persons, firefighters, physiotherapists, and authors.

We have tracked down the man said to be the happiest person on earth. He is Archdeacon Roland J. Canticle, Anglican clergyman, volunteer firefighter, trained masseur, and author of "Hose and Ladder to Salvation." 

Contacted by our staff, Archdeacon Canticle, bouncing on the rectory trampoline, said, "I am so happy I worry that Heaven may be a letdown." The Venerable Roland was immediately knocked off the trampoline by a lightning bolt, but he called out, "I'm still happy!"

The other list of note today is a ranking of the worst-dressed cities in the world. Vancouver comes in at #3. Our Fashion Editor, Quincy Malaprop, takes great umbrage at this. 

"Some," he said, "may fail sartorially, but I believe I have set the standard for elegance in this natty burg." As he spoke, Quincy was wearing a suit tailored from gerbil suede over a Vancouver riot jersey and a classic necktie that lights up in the dark and says "Kiss Me Quick."
