PANDORA'S PLIGHT

by Heidi Vandoran

Sources indicate that the culprit responsible for the "Bean Panic" is Pandora Hunt, high school girl and self proclaimed "rock star goddess." "Pandora has always been ...ah, difficult. A real juvenile delinquent,," says Pandora's principal, "She goes from one disaster to the next without looking back or worrying about the consequences. When it comes to personality flaws Pandora has got more than her share."

Evidentially Pandora's flaws lead to disaster when her father, the famous botanist Henry Hunt, trusted her to guard a jar of beans and a strange-looking bean sprout. "Whatever you do, do NOT open the jar," her father instructed her. "He might as well have told the sun not to shine, the birds not to sing, or Richard Simmons not to shake his booty," said Officer John, recalling Pandora's earlier transgressions.

Needless to say, the jar was opened, the beans escaped and pandemonium ensued. And like out of some tragic Greek myth, things have gotten really ugly.

Pandora's "friend" Bob was avaliable for comment. "I suppose Pandora has botched up," said Bob, "That's nothing new. I have little faith in the redemption of humanity (and Pandora), however this time Pandora seem to be doing something about her mistake. I mean other than whinning and complaining." Speculations that Pandora has taken responsibility are unfounded at this time.
