Mink coats and "Minke" boats.
SOME years ago, animal activists created such a stink that women were induced to relinquish the fetid habit of wearing mink coats.
How wonderful it would be if those brave Greenpeace activists could emulate the kind of olfactory sensation that would force the Japanese to abandon the cruel slaughter of whales via their malodorous "minke" boats.

Ruddy faced Santa.
AND how did that ruddy faced Santa make his presence felt at our house this Christmas? Through my ruddy credit card!

Eye-opener
CORPSE coins were pennies placed on the eyelids of dead persons to prevent them from opening. Of course, it doesn't work with politicians because their huge superannuation payouts are such an eye-opener.

H2 OH!
THE Water Corporation is looking into the possibility of producing drinking water from sewage. But surely the consumer will vacillate on this, and thus the prospect inevitably falls between two stools.
Eiderdown?
POLITICIANS make strange bedfellows. They spend years feather-bedding the economy, then the economy spends years feather-bedding them. It just gets me down.
Bellyflop
THIS Atkins diet is serious stuff - after six weeks on it, I can't raise a big belly laugh.
Flash by
WE ARE fast approaching tax-return time. Which reminds me, speed cameras are just like the tax department - they take your money in a flash.
Mutiny
MEMBERS of Parliament should be recompensed under a bounty system - set them all adrift in a small boat!

Hot to trot
POLITICIANS should be made to run for office more frequently. I would suggest about ten miles a day!
Thing along
A local council is going to ban thongs in its public gallery.
What's going to happen to the people who thing them?

Rain of terror
IN England, a lump of frozen urine the size of a tennis ball fell from a plane and crashed through an elderly couple's roof.
How did they know it wasn't airline coffee? Tastes just the same.

Equal opportunity
WE all like a fair go - particularly if we can get more of it than the next bloke.
Cheap Trick
WITH a wave of his wand, the magician makes things vanish with apparent ease. But making bigotry disappear is more difficult, for it requires one who can pull habits from rats.
Fitting punishment
WHAT punishment do members of parliament deserve when they are found to have misled the people? Well, if lawyers are disbarred and priests are defrocked, shouldn't politicians be dismembered?
Political assurances
POLITICAL assurances are much like those of dentists: you are told it won't hurt; it does, and then you end up paying for it!
