"This is Kenny McKiltie reporting at an unimaginably horrific scene in St Bunnicula Square. At the catered luncheon that always follows the St Mocheomoc Parade, it appears nearly 93.8% of the feasters have become violently ill. We've got our most lovable grouch, Gladys McLeary with us here from St Mocheomoc Cathedral who is responsible for this event.
"You will recall that Mrs. McLeary was the only citizen of Kilcathclyde to receive a government bailout for her charity shop located inside St Mocheomoc Cathedral. She is also an alto with the cathedral choir -- a post, I understand, she has held for 53 years!
"What do you think happened today, Mrs. McLeary?"
"Well," said Gladys. Eternally grumpy and notoriously frugal, her deep, resonant voice explained why she was an alto. "I've no idea. I purchased all the four day-old fish for the bouillabaisse at a discount of 73%. I expect Mayor Callaghan and the town council will have to petition Westminster to open an independent, bipartisan, objective, and thorough parliamentary enquiry to determine what caused this shockingly tragic event to occur."
Kenny's mouth seemed to tighten slightly as he exchanged a twinkly look with the cameraman.
