Smiley Emoticon at 20: Tired of Faking It

The perpetually-grinning aggregation of punctuation checked himself in last week after gossip columnists reported he was “on a bender, chain-smoking and binge drinking.”
Although Mr. Emoticon’s agent said the comedian’s assistant was just taking a much-deserved six-month hiatus, those closest to him (including Backspace Key and Quotation Mark) say Smiley is “just tired of faking it”.
“He’s spent the better part of 20 years trying to make stupid jokes look funny,” said Mr. Mark. “How would you feel if you had to listen to people groaning all day. And he was never recognized for his peace mission of trying to take the edge off of some really cruel remarks. He was overworked and practically lame from being hackneyed.”
Backspace Key said Smiley finally ‘hit bottom’ just last week.
“The other night he says to me, ‘Backspace take me outa here…come on…one, two, three and I’m gone.’”
Mr. Key said he refused Smiley’s pleading request, and called the treatment center in Taipo.
