BRANSON, MO—According to sources, local Dad Fred Martin wisely prepared for Christmas by buying 800 AA batteries and 2,742 AAA batteries. This way he won't have to buy batteries for a very long time.
UPDATE: They're already gone.
"How? Just, how?" exclaimed the frustrated Martin after finding he was one AAA battery short of powering up his kids' new walkie-talkies. "Where in the world did they all go?"
Sources say that after using only two of the batteries in his "Mega Value Pak" from Costco, he put the remaining batteries in the junk drawer. Within days, several had been used in Christmas toys, some had been accidentally thrown in the trash and the rest had disappeared into a mysterious portal to another dimension that exists somewhere in the drawer.
Martin will now be making a late-night trip to the store in the freezing rain to buy more batteries.
UPDATE: Due to supply chain shortages, the stores are now out of batteries.

"This is way easier," said Democratic Governor Abigail Spanberger. "We're tackling the real issue, which is Republicans being allowed to vote at all. There will be no more campaigning, no more counting ballots. That stuff is such a hassle anyway."
"They're here among us," alien specialist Donny Marcus told the press. "I've been studying these beings for years — they're smart, and they're resourceful. It took no time at all for them to defraud Tim Walz's government of billions through Medicare and Medicaid fraud. The government didn't even ask why they needed the money; they just forked it over. The invasion people have been anticipating has been happening right under our noses all along."
"The Democratic Party would be winning in a landslide if it weren't for that confounded Constitution," said House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. "We have so many great ideas on how to win, but people keep saying things like 'Hey, that's illegal' or 'That's literally a crime.' It's becoming disheartening."
