Very jolly, and Line 4 is a real hit. The Guardian was once accused of having far too great an interest in the moose-molester. She's completely familiar here via TV. Jiggle shows? I suppose a lurid imagination can work that one out . . .

Of course we know about the divine Sarah. You know about Boris, don't you? May I suggest 'I sit here writing piss'? Great stuff Max.

[Max Goodman]

Thanks, all. Very kind.

I'm less concerned about the transatlantic currency of Sarah Palin than of "jiggle shows" (Thanks, Jerome, for confirmation) and Playboy's reputation (former reputation?) for publishing highbrow fiction and articles to help men buy it with less embarrassment. Maybe I'll leave that couplet out.

John, we Yanks are damned ignorant bastards. Boris hasn't shown up yet on any of my regular bathroom walls, but I'll keep an eye out for him.

>May I suggest 'I sit here writing piss'?

I love it! But it's been suggested (maybe only to salve my ego) that one reason I keep coming up goose eggs in these contests is that my humor is too dirty, so...

I actually thought 'jiggle shows' was a British term you were using to ingratiate yourself with the editors -- it's a new one on me, but I didn't feel I needed to look it up.

My lurid imagination proved a bit broad brush (don't know about Roger's)
so for those who seek precision there is always
