Local band members arrested with counterfeit mayo



Klegshore, VL - Chuckles and Puckerup, members of the band Nostril Fumfkin, were arrested early Monday with over 400 jars of counterfeit mayonnaise with intent to distribute. After finishing a show at Chubby Sue's, Chuckles and Puckerup took the band's tour wheelbarrow and said they would return in a few minutes, according to Nostril Fumfkin publicist, Shonsen Jickson. Police found the band members at 12:17 a.m. attempting to sell the mayonnaise to a possum.

"We pulled the wheelbarrow over and the suspects had clearly been using the mayonnaise. There was bread all over the place and one of the suspects had a small clump hanging down from his ball cap," said Klegshore police chief Mick Russo.

Chuckles and Puckerup were released on $11 bail. The preliminary hearing is scheduled for December 22 at the Klegshore County court house. According to the band's web site, www.website.com, no decision had been made on the future of Chuckles and Puckerup with a world-wide tour to promote the pigeon be-bop band's sixth studio album, Up to My Knuckles, beginning December 31.

"Excuse me, sir, can you get off my lawn? I told you, I'm not the band's manager," said local resident Henry Shane.
