Mock The Week

2008

From the gloriously rude "Unfortunate names for race horses" to "Unlikely personal ads" and lines that (sadly) never appeared in the Harry Potter books, "Mock the Week: Scenes We'd Like to See" is the fastest, funniest read of the year: a bumper book of all-new, razor-sharp one-liners, including: UNLIKELY MEDICAL LABELS: No rabbits were harmed during the testing of this product - but the rats were less lucky. UNSUCCESSFUL JOB APPLICATIONS: I am both lazy and a miserable git. GREETINGS CARDS THAT WOULDN'T SELL: Happy New Breasts! FIRST-DRAFT LINES FROM GREAT NOVELS: Alice was beginning to get very bored of sitting by her sister on the riverbank, so she checked no one was around, hit her with a stone, and pushed her into the water. UNLIKELY CROSSWORD CLUES: 9 Across - Rip van Winkle's name (3, 3, 6) REJECTED EXAM QUESTIONS: List your most sordid desires. UNLIKELY HOROSCOPES: You will go to your bedroom window and stand there naked for a minute, you will do this especially if your name is Mrs Hughes and you live at 56, The Avenue, Clapham... around 3.30 would be best for me.
