Man Drops Vase In Pun-On-Title Horror

The broken vase lying on the living room carpet

A man holding an expensive vase lost his grip today, resulting in the breakage of said piece of porcelain. Marvin X. Wilcox, a cleaner from Sudbury, said “I’m shocked and appalled at my own inability to perform such a simple task as moving a vase.”

Breaking News seemed like the only place that would listen to my deranged rantings; Breaking News, Breaking Vase, News, Vase! Oooh! Marvin Wilcox

The case is unlikely to ever reach the courts, as Mr Wilcox has hidden the pieces and will be returning with some superglue tomorrow. However, the incident is not without an upside; “I’d never have reported the incident,” reflects Wilcox, “except that I saw KTAB had a ‘Breaking News’ section and I wanted to take advantage of the bad pun.”
