What's In The Newspaper Today?

Don’t what to be too much of a wet blanket, but sensationalism like this doesn’t deserve getting away without the minimum of criticism.

Where is the story printed? The Sun – almost enough to doubt its authenticity.

Are their any names in the story? The woman? The doctor? The ambulance driver? The Nurse? The spokesman for Asda?

No. Why not? Could make you think the story is not attributable.

The only name in the story is Anne Summers, who IMHO must have a smart PR man, don’t you think?

TM, lighten up! What section is this in?

True or not, I think it is hysterical.

you can do that with your handphone, set it to vibrate mode.

I think I am fairly light - there are those who think I am too light!

But putting a story in this section doesn't in itself make it humorous.

This is just a story about a person’s unfortunate accident. Given, it has something to do with genitalia and masturbation, but there is no wit - no surprise in either the outcome or the telling of the story.

But then if you are the sort of person who laughs when someone farts, maybe you might find hysterical.

I, on the other hand, get more of a giggle out of something like this:

I don't... <cringing at the sight of violence...>

But then again TM, each to his own, and that's what makes the world go around...

Well here is a fart joke for you TM.

A man worked hard all day digging the garden and felt very stiff and sore.

His wife fluttered about him, pleased with the amount of work he had done and anxious to get him to do some more.

"Have a nice soak in the bath and I'll bring you a drink," she suggested smiling.

"Good idea," says the husband looking forward to being waited on

He's in the bath when she comes in with a nice glass of Scotch which he accepts happily

"If there's anything else you'd like just call," says the wife as she leaves the bathroom.

When she got halfway along the landing the husband relaxes completely and lets off an enormous long fart in the bath.

A few minutes later, despite it being a very warm Summer's evening, the wife comes in with a fluffy bed warmer

"What the heck is that for?" asks the husband snappily

"Oh Darling," says the wife, flustered, "I thought I heard you say, "Whataboutahottawaterbottle,","

Yet it's not so much the fart that is funny, albeit an instrumental part of the joke, but the well delivered and unexpected punch line that raises it from the bowels of mediocrity.

A bit like that game we both love: it’s brutal, violent and dirty – even bloody – but a well worked try is sheer poetry (although being a front row – I was a hooker – the opportunities for getting involved with something as esoteric as that, were somewhat rare).

A fart could also be used as a deadly weapon, albeit on lazy locks in your own team that did not know the meaning of the word "push".

Mine, tended to guarantee a collapsed scrum, but that could be attributed to the differences between Welsh and New Zealand lamb.
