Jason Kidd

Shelter Island
Old Man McGumbus, 101-years-old, former World War II submarine captain, and current President of SHTITY (The Shelter Island Technical Institute For International Yachters) was arrested last week for assault with a deadly weapon. McGumbus was hosting The SHTITY Race, where he was competing in his custom made, 27 foot O’Day sailboat in a race around Shelter Island. McGumbus has won the event 43 years in a row, but was accused of cheating during the awards ceremony by Hans Sheeganflausen, a German National who invented the windshield wiper. “This awards ceremony is a sham. McGumbus had his engine going during the entire race, I saw it with my own eyes!”
“YOU GOD DAMN NAZI!” McGumbus yelled, and threw the SHTITY trophy, which weighs 20 pounds, at Hans. McGumbus then pulled out of his pocket a 357 Magnum and pointed it at Hans, but was instantly tackled by security and subsequently arrested.
