Jed Peabody Continues to Amaze!

GOOSEBURY--Jed Peabody, who amazed our readers last year by attempting to swallow a chipmunk (see Observer 7/25/06), continued to bring dubious honors upon himself by attempting to iron a shirt while on his body. According to Jed, it "seemed stupid to waste time using an ironing board to iron my shirt and then have to put it on after that." Jed, amazing as it seems, then tried to iron the shirt while on his body. According to a nurse at the emergency room, it appears that Mr. Peabody was successful in partially ironing the right front of the shirt before it occurred to him that he was an idiot. Mr. Peabody was released from Goosebury General Hospital and taken home by his mother, Agnus Peabody. Mrs. Peabody stated that "my son has a history of innovation and this particular innovation will hurt all of us for some time." When asked for a comment, Mr. Peabody muttered something to the effect that "the guys will laugh at me now that I only have one nipple."
