Hare Krishna Benefit Play a Big Hit

New York, NY

Thousands turned out at the local Hare Krishna center over the weekend for a free performance of the long running Broadway play, 'The Vagina Monologues'. There was no admission charged, but many theatergoers made handsome donations to the center.

The proceeds of the benefit are to go to a women's advocacy group within the organization. One attendee told reporters, 'Even many of their swamis were in attendance, even though they were technically not supposed to be in the audience. I recognized them, despite their various disguises like wigs and false mustaches and beards and those tacky polyester suits.

They need to shop in better stores, consider the amount of money they make. I'll have to take one of them down the Saks and show them around one of these days. Well, at least they have good taste in watches. For many of them it was their expensive Rolexes that gave them away. Really, if you're going to go around in disguise, at least hide the jewelry!'
