PROVIDENCE - Rhode Island Governor Donnie Carcaluchi is saddened to have to say that due to the economic hardships that his state is facing he has no choice but to put the little state up for sale.
At first the governor felt that closing down the state governmental offices for 12 days would help to bring down the exorbitant deficit, but he soon realized that it would only be like putting a band-aid on an African gazelle's wounds from a vicious lion.
The governor said that he does not plan to sell his state on eBay as his recently divorced Attorney General Augusta Harkenfooper, 52, suggested.
Governor Carcaluchi said that instead he will go the more dignified route by placing an add in The National Enquirer, which he understands has a world-wide readership of 2.7 billion readers.
Governor Carcaluchi said that he recalls hearing on the Oprah Winfrey Show that the Republic of China sold The Great Wall of China to Ireland through an ad in The National Enquirer.
SIDENOTE: Governor Carcaluchi's office said that he has already sold the University of Rhode Island to Donald Trump who plans to refurbish it and turn it into the Island Rhode Towers Hotel. And the governor is currently in negotiations with Colorado Springs, Colorado to sell the minor league Pawtucket Red Sox who will then become the Colorado Red Sox.
