MADILL, OKLAHOMA (The Borowitz Report)Clarence and Ginni Thomas became stranded over the weekend after the engine of their quarter-million-dollar recreational vehicle suddenly ran out of caviar.
The R.V. was passing through Madill, Oklahoma, when the Thomases made the unfortunate discovery.
After their attempt to buy enough caviar in Marshall County for their beluga-powered motor home proved fruitless, the couple was forced to reach out to their roster of super-donor friends for a new shipment of roe.
Ginni Thomas said that the caviar mishap had ruined their summer vacation. After a gruelling year as a Supreme Court Justice, this was the last thing I needed, she said.

Andy tries, yet humor or satire elude me in our dire situation. No laughing matter.

Alas, I've become the proverbial sourpuss.

It's on the OK-TX border, but other than that, it's nowhere.

in whose parking lots, according to the billionaire-financed PR, Uncle Clarence prefers to hang, because he loves the common touch.
