788.0. "Groundhog Day!" by CSC32::S_BROOK (There and back to see how far it is) Wed Feb 02 1994 13:19

    OK Folks, It's Groundhog Day, but down here in the US, everyone looks
    at Puncsatawny Phil ... who incidentally implied we have 6 more weeks
    of winter.
    
    BUT What did Wiarton Willy do today ?  That's the important question
    of the day????

    Wiarton Willy saw his shadow as well.

    Do you still have to squeegee out your office, or are the weeping tiles
    working fine?

    	I heard during the LA earthquake warnings that your tier ducked,
        plugged up with debris, and made you cry even more.

    Me thinks they should give both Wiarton Willy and Putscatawny
    Phil the package. I mean all these rodents have to do is
    poke there noses up once a year and tell us winter is finally
    coming to an end, but no, they've got to prolong our misery.
    
    BTW, the Farmer's Almanac was right on about the extremely cold
    January.

    dateline Wiarton:
    It has just been reported Phil's estranged wife hired a bodyguard
    to strike Willy in the knee with an iron bar. Willy is resting
    in Wiarton General Hospital with severe bruising but is recovering
    rapidly and should make the trip to Lillehammer to represent Canada.
