REASONS
WHY WE NEVER HEAR THE QUEEN MOTHER SPEAK
10.
She has Tourette’s Syndrome.
9. She
has a voice like Pee-Wee Herman.
8. All
she ever talks about is the weather, and how long she had to
wait for the bus, and how much she won at bingo the other
night.
7.
She’s been incubating a crocodile egg at the back of her
throat.
6. Palace
officials are afraid she’ll make references to her
dysentery.
5. If she
opens her mouth to speak we’ll see the full extent of the
decay.
4. Once
she starts, she’ll never stop.
3. She
does speak, but our ears just can’t be bothered to listen.
2. She
was replaced by a full-scale marionette in 1976.
1. Her voice is so posh that it’s inaudible to common folk.
HOW TO BE COOL…
10. Always walk a few paces ahead of your friends, and never bother to look when crossing the road.
9. Only listen to bands that none of your friends have ever heard of, and immediately stop liking the band if it gets so much as a sniff at the Top 40. Popularity =
uncool.
8. Smoke cigarettes - especially if you're under 14. That looks REALLY cool.
7. Take loads of drugs, and then casually drop your narcotics-related tales into conversation. Friends are bound to be impressed with your cool, reckless lifestyle, and probably think you're the new Jim Morrison.
6. Always wear sunglasses indoors, particularly during job interviews. Potential employers really like cool employees.
5. Dress like a fucker.
4. Never wear shorts, even if it's really, really baking hot. Unless you're wearing garish, flowery, Hawaiian-style shorts because you're both cool AND ironic.
3. Even if you're not short-sighted, wear small, round, John Lennon-style glasses. Even though Lennon was chronically short-sighted, he probably only wore those glasses because they made him look cool.
2. Ensure your bookshelves are stocked with heavy, dry literary classics. Don't worry about actually reading them - you can probably glean enough info from the back cover spiel to prove how cool and well read you are when in conversation with un-cool, non-literary types. Also; watch only foreign films with subtitles.
1. Adopt radical left-wing political ideals, and show your support for cool charities, such as AIDS research and Amnesty International, even if you don't really understand them. And don't worry about AIDS sufferers finding it patronising that you're wearing a red ribbon on your lapel - they'll just think you're cool, even if they are dying!
