== The Story ==
* Once upon a time in the vibrant city of Torunto, Canada, lived a flamboyant opera singer named Bart B. Bart B., known for his velvety voice and quirky stage presence, was preparing for his most important performance yet - the lead role in "The Hairdresser of Seville."
* Backstage, the tension was as thick as custard. Bart was pacing nervously, clutching his lucky bunny paw. Suddenly, his understudy, a tiny woman named Penelope, burst in, looking surprised
* "Bartholomew! Oh, no! I can't believe that you've lost your hair!"
* Bartholomew shrieked, his voice reaching a pitch that could shatter glass. "My hair! How can I sing without my hair?"
* Penelope, ever resourceful, sprang into action. She rummaged through a trunk of costumes and emerged with a canned whoopie cushion. "Here," she declared. "This should do the trick!"
* Bartholomew stared at the canned whoopie cushion; he said, "Penelope, I can't believe it!" Suddenly, the stage manager bellowed, "Five minutes left to go, Mr. B.!"
* With a deep breath, Bartholomew donned the canned whoopie cushion and took the stage. The spotlight hit him and he opened his mouth to sing the opening aria accompanied by his canned whoopie cushion; everyone cheered as Bart thanked his adoring fans. Going backstage, he wondered about the future, hopefully thinking of winning an award for being on a telethon for charity! The end!
