MAJOR ULTRA SUPER FLASH!!!
*
ON THIS, THE 100th ANNIVERSARY OF POWERED FLIGHT, VP REACHES A MILESTONE!
*
VAL-U-PROP HAS ITS 10,000th VISITOR!
*
AND THE GRAND PRIZE WINNER IS:
*
*
SHANIA TWAIN!
*
"OMIGOD!" said Shania, upon hearing she was selected Grand Prize Winner as VAL-U-PROP's 10,000th guest.
"Of all the honors I've received, this is the greatest! OMIGOD! I've been clicking on Val-U-Prop for three days hoping to win!"
"OMIGOD! Does this mean I get to meet that fabulous, sexy CEO? Faith Hill says he's a dreamboat - just the sexiest man on earth! OMIGOD!"
*
After calming down, Shania was told what her Grand Prize was to be:
*
A NIGHT ON THE TOWN WITH OUR CEO!!!
*
*
"OMIGOD!" Shrieked Shania. "I may not be a real Ojibway Indian, but I know a mighty fine Lodge-Pole when I see one!"
*
"WHAT A MAN! OMIGOD!!!"
*
Shania's protruberances ain't too bad either.
(Oh get real! You don't go the Empire State Building to look at the basement! Jeez . . .)
*
After trying to plant smooches on our CEO, Shania sang for VP employees.
*
*
Shania sang; "Oh, That Man of Mine" and "Gonna Getcha!"
*
 She did NOT sing; "Hey Big Spender."
*
*
Shania poses for the media. Nice navel, and we ain't talkin' oranges.
*
The party continued well into the night - and a winsome Shania realized that her dream had come true.
*
*
SHE HAD FINALLY MET MR. RIGHT!
*
Wrong.
*
Unfortunately all good things must come to an end, and the night was finally over. Our CEO had to return to his sacred duties at Val-U-Prop. Being taken to the airport at dawn for her flight back to Nashville, Shania was most upset at leaving VAL-U-PROP and its CEO behind.
*
*
"Please let me stay! OMIGOD!!! Just another day! Last night you said - "
*
But our CEO had soothing words for the distraught, disconsolate diva.
*
"Last night we said a great many things. You said I was to do the thinking for both of us. Well, I've done a lot of it and it all adds up to one thing: You're getting on that plane where you belong."
*
"But what about us?' pleaded the soulful, seething singer.
*
"We'll always have Bloomington. We didn't have - we lost it, until you came to KBMG."
*
"And I said I'd never leave you," moaned the creamy, country crooner.
*
"And you never will. But I've got a job to do, too. Where I'm going you can't follow. What I've got to do you can't be any part of. Listen, Shania, I'm no good at being noble, but it doesn't take much to see that the problems of two little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Someday you'll understand that."
"VAL-U-PROP is part of me, what makes me work. I can't abandon it even for a day, even for a moment. Good-bye Shania!"
*
FINALLY, SHANIA BOARDED A VP DC-3 AND HEADED BACK TO NASHVILLE.
*
*
"Here's lookin' at you, kid," said our CEO.
*
At least that's how the official VP press kit records the conversation.
Other witnesses report our CEO being restrained while screaming:
"COME BACK, SHANIA! MEET ME IN THE BACK OF HANGER NUMBER TWO!! PLEASE SHANIA! HANGER NUMBER TWO!!!! OMIGOD!!!!!"
*
Oh well . . .
*
FLASH!! SUPERFLASH!!!
*
This just in from Nashville, 23Z 12-17-2003:
*
*
"That Shania has all the luck! Gee, what a chance of a lifetime. Here I am stuck with a dope in a stupid black hat, and she gets a chance with Mr. Val-U-Prop. I'd give my Grammies for a night with him! Oh golly! I guess if Shania struck out with him, I wouldn't stand a chance, either. Gee whiz! Guess I'll just stay here in Nashville and forget about him."
*
OMIGOD!!!!
