Following the recent failed terrorist attacks in the UK by extremist NHS medical staff, Al-Qaeda announced all future attempts to murder the British population would be carried out by private doctors.
“We had to wait over a year for that operation in Scotland,” said an anonymous spokesman telephoned by the Daily Mail, “and the Glaswegians mistook it for an average stag night. The number of forms you need to fill in these days to commit an atrocity is outrageous – all this administrative stuff should just be contracted out to call centres in Pakistan”.
An inflamed head of the NHS Suicide Bombers Union, Ali Charcoal, responded that his members were victims of underfunding and a shortage of public sector virgins meant there was less incentive to take their own lives.
“I firmly maintain that the intervention of BUPA will create a “two-tier terror system”, and failure to keep up with the annual rate of inflammation will lead to many infidels having to pay to have themselves blown up. You ain’t got a light on you by any chance, mate?”

Some good lines here; nicely satirical. Can just imagine the Jocks ignoring bombs going off thinking it's some kind of stag do! Chris |

Good stuff. With GVTSM on the stand out line: annual rate of inflammation. Enjoyed. Phil. |

Nice to see you back! Let's hope the next operation doesn't take place at the Southend BUPA hospital...even more of a shortage of virgins to choose from. Much enjoyed as usual.

| I very much enjoyed this. The idea of using call centres to organise the terror really tickled me. |

| Yep -- this is great. My favorite line was "We had to wait over a year for that operation in Scotland" and the subsequent comparison to an average stag night. And I like the idea of them being foiled by paperwork; frankly it would put me off if I were so inclined. The shortage of public sector virgins is funny too, and I'm with Jean on the call centers as well. |

Is this piece still here because I haven't tried to review it? I just know that as soon as I try the bloody thing will disappear again. I got so close to commenting on that Qand A one. I thought you were making some sort of existenial comment on the transitory nature of humour. We're currently running a book on how long this one will stay. I've already lost. It's a really great concept,so cool and clever you hardly needed to say anything else. Good idea to set the pen-pushing beaurocrats onto the terroists. Never mind the SAS, some nerd with a fistful of forms would have them surrendering in no time. Wonderful Jane |

Yes, Jane, but only in a Nietzschean sense. You should read Kierkegaard's account of the look on Simone de Beauvoir's face when he stuck a whoopie cushion under her turgid ass after telling her she was the most accessible point of entry into French existentialism - oh, the chat-up lines they 'ad in them days. Let me know your bet, and I'll do some insider trading for a small fee. This could probably have been exploited a lot better, but thanks to all who commented. |
