Finger Lickin' Good

Hollywood – Fire department officials reported early this morning, that toxic fumes on the set of the hit FOX comedy "Ally McBeal", forced it’s abrupt evacuation. Witnesses on the scene reported seeing actors and crew alike, scurrying from the building, in an apparent attempt to escape the foul odor emanating from the studio's "unisex" restroom set. Apparently, sometime minutes before the cast arrived for work, someone not yet identified, utilized the fictional facility. Felix Hammond, set designer for the show was aghast at the discovery, exclaiming, "My God! It smelled like someone died in there!" , "What kind of idiot would do something like that when they know there’s no plumbing in there?!"  Some 15 minutes after the building had been ventilated, taping resumed, and a search was initiated to identify the perpetrator, though it met with little initial success. Later that day however, Greg Germann was overheard recounting an article concerning the suicide attempt by writer/producer David E. Kelly, reported on in an exclusive story by "The Daily Cynic". Adding to suspicions, was the discovery of a recent issue of the magazine found on the floor of the restroom facade, leading some to believe they had detected the culprit. Immediately following the discovery, witnesses reported observing Lucy Liu rushing from the set, to return shortly thereafter with a container of mouthwash.
