#12: Jesus of New Jersey

Fittingly at Easter, New Jersey’s Brian McDowell having been caught on video asking sexual favours of a friend blames it all on being like Jesus.

#9: The Fact-Fiction Coalescence

Truth, Mark Twain said, is stranger than fiction. For Ernest and Heather Franklin of Guilford, fiction may have inspired truth, a little bit too much.

#4 – The Red Rum Fortuity

#3 – A Matter of Interpretation

Though Mo and P both pilfered stuff,
their ends could not be more diverse.
For his hard work he earned six strokes,
For hers, apologies.

#2 – The Chima Conundrum

Still aches in pain for her delights.

For Chima the six who wants a ten.

#1 – Bob, The Brave and Bold…

Bob the Brave would fight
Brexit’s worthy cause. His Achilles
Heel? An expired MOT

For Robert, who wants to take Spain on, on behalf of Gibraltar
