1satire is based on just a few simple ideas. These ideas can be defined under
1various celebrities. There are only 6 real topical jokes:
{1@3
31. Pavarotti is fat
3
{32. Barbara Cartland is old (substitute Bill Wyman if @7teenage sex@3 is required
3 to be included)

33. Prince Philip shoots nice furry animals and doesn't like foreigners
3 despite being foreign himself (German or Greek, depending on the story
{3 he's been @2gratuitously shoehorned into@3)

34. John Major is dull and thick, while Lady Thatcher is mad and thick

35. Prince Charles talks to plants, has big ears and is mad, thick and dull

{36. Most cabinet ministers and @7Paddy Ashdown@3 have @7shagged their secretaries@3
