The Shame of Eton

A grim Headmaster, followed by his staff walked into the school assembly and went onto the stage so they could look down on the uneasy crowd of boys beneath them.

'Someone has been lying and no one will leave this room until I find out who it was' brayed the Headmaster.

Silence.

'Come on I know who you are. You just have to have the guts to admit it!'

'It could be me, Sir' piped a frightened voice.

'Clegg, we already know about your lies. This is something new. Now I want the person responsible to own up.'

'It could be me, sir' blurted a tearful Osborne in terror.

'Stop snivelling Osborne. It is not you this time.'

'I could be me' suggested Flash Cameron.

'Yes Cameron. It could be you. It is you. Lying again about your visions. Do we need a psychiatrist for you?'

'No Sir. I saw this vision of a Big Elephant.'

'Nonsense. There are no Big Elephants. This is a fantasy so we fail to see the emptyness of your head, Cameron.'

'Yes sir.'

'I've warned you before not to tell these lies. I warn you, Cameron, if you go on like this you will end up in Public Relations. You will bring shame on Eton and your whole family. I will hear no more of these Big Elephant visions.'

'It was last term's fault' shouted Cameron 'they left this elephant in the toilets.'

Chorus 'It was last term's fault', It was last term's fault IT WAS LAST TERM'S FAULT.

Trying to Escape the Weeding

I am trying to escape from all the treacle dripping from the media about the weeding day. I don't see why I should do the weeding, my allotment is in fine shape and I will be spending the forthcoming weeding holiday with earphones firmly in my ears tuned to my favourite music.
This does not include the weeding march, which is the tune that was used to open our local marriage guidance centre.

GOVERNMENT TO FORCE
HOUSEHOLDERS TO MAKE CUPS OF TEA FOR BURGLARS

In a startling new twist to the argument over the rights of householders in dealing with burglars, the government has announced that from now on every householder, confronted with a burglar breaking into their home, will be obliged to make a cup of tea for the intruder. Amongst the other new measures are laws which ban householders from raising their voices in the presence of a burglar and another, preventing householders from locking their doors and windows. On the other hand, burglars will be banned from asking for more than two biscuits with their statutory cup of tea.
The Home Office Minister said that, "These new laws will redress the balance between the obligations of the householder and the rights of the burglar". A commons amendment to give burglars the choice of tea or coffee is to be voted on tomorrow.

"LOTTERY WIN WILL NOT CHANGE MY LIFE", SAYS QUEEN

Speaking exclusively to the chit-chat forum, Elizabeth Windsor(Her Majesty The Queen) talks about her win on the Lotto National Lottery, last week.
"One was very surprised and happy when one checked ones numbers on teletext. One could not believe it, at first. Then it suddenly dawned on one that one had all six numbers plus the bonus ball. One was gobsmacked"
"One realises that to some people fifteen million pounds is lot of money, but one will not be changing ones lifestyle because of ones lottery win. One will still be an ordinary Queen fulfilling ones duties to ones country.
One also believes that the money should be put to good use benefiting the community, at large. For this reason one might, for example, completely refurbishing the bowing and scraping room in Buckingham Palace. The carpet is so worn with all those people groveling before one, it looks a mess".

SAS Facing Recruitment Crisis

Brigadier Richard Dennis, head of the UK Infantry Division, has revealed that the Special Air Services is in the middle of a major recruitment crisis.
''We just can't seem to find anyone interested in undergoing extreme training to lie stock still in the desert for weeks on end with nothing to occupy your time other than making up as many words as possible from the letters S-A-H-A-R-A.
Similarly, there also seemed to be a dearth of people willing to wade through miles and miles of snake infested swamps with nothing but freeze dried marmite to eat.''

Strange but true.
