Lavatory Attendant Honored: DSGumby Makes News Again LONDON (Rooters) - The London Tourist Board has honored a lavatory attendant with a special welcome award for his services to tourism. DSGumby, who tends the public lavatories in the suburb of Lewisham, was praised for being caring, committed and selfless at a Hollywood Oscar-style ceremony. ''I just want to thank my manager Nasty, the cleaning staff, the maintenance men, my customers and everybody who knows me. I could not have achieved this without them,'' he said, with a great flushing of the face. Overjoyed at the award, he told Saturday's Daily Telegraph: ''I love the job. I honestly wouldn't want to do anything else in the world. Which is why I trade stocks on the side. It is the perfect environment.'' For all human life is revealed to him: ''People seem to get a little bit closer to their emotions in the lavatories. You don't have to pretend in here. We are all human and we are all equal. Well.. some are more equal than others.. I mean Nasty Nathanc came in here the other day and afterwards nothing would flush... but, I just try to treat everyone the same with a bit of respect... the bastids.''

Leader In Diaper Drug Ring Sentenced To 20 Years: Farewell DSGumby WASHINGTON (Rooters) - The discovery of 84 individual bags of crack cocaine in a baby's diaper led to a 20-year jail sentence Tuesday for the leader of a drug distribution ring in downtown Washington. The sentence, handed down by U.S. District Judge Gladys Kessler, ended the two-year reign of Crystal Jefferson, 34, over the crack cocaine market in the District of Columbia's inner city area, the Justice Department said. The arrest of two men in August 1996 in a city park led to the conviction of 12 people in the drug ring, including Jefferson. Those two men, DSGumby and Nasty Nathanc, have yet to stop talking. Eyewitnesses observed the two brothers slapping and punching the two-year-old daughter of one of the men and flagged down a passing police officer, the department said in a written statement. ''The child was taken to Children's Hospital for treatment, where doctors discovered 84 individual ziplock bags containing crack cocaine inside the child's diaper. It was a gruesome discovery'' The drugs were eventually traced back to Jefferson. A search of her apartment yielded 184 grams of crack cocaine valued at almost $37,000, more than $30,000 in cash and a loaded handgun. Evidence presented at trial showed that Jefferson in late 1995 began to take over and organize the street-level distribution of crack cocaine by selling smaller and less expensive amounts, thereby undercutting the sales of all other dealers who were not associated with her. ''As her organization grew, she used fear and intimidation to maintain her control over her distribution areas and her organization members,'' the Justice Department said. On February 25, a federal jury convicted Jefferson on conspiracy, possession and distribution charges. ''Today's sentence of 20 years without parole puts an end to a sophisticated, well-organized crack cocaine distribution ring in the downtown area of the city,'' the department said. "And if we could only do the same for those other two," the official said with a sneer and a gasmask against the notorious poots of both," then there would be two more disgustos off the street."

Botched Circumcisions Kill Three: Dr.DS{Habib}Gumby Sought JOHANNESBURG (Rooters) - Three South African youths have died this month as a result of botched circumcisions, the South African Press Association (SAPA) reported Tuesday. Citing hospital sources in the country's Eastern Cape Province, SAPA said the three youths had died on different days earlier this month. It said that since May, 18 young men had been admitted to Cecilia Makiwane Hospital in the Eastern Cape for complications stemming from circumcisions gone awry. Circumcision ceremonies are a traditional rite of passage for adolescents from South Africa's Xhosa tribe and injuries from the operation are not uncommon, especially in rural areas. But natives are up in arm - really - against Dr.DS{Habib}Gumby who, it has been said, continues to operate using a blade from his lawn mower's and a bottle of TBird.
