Wave...

 

I don't know why this hilarious few seconds came to mind the other day, but uncontrolled giggling occurred, and continued for quite some time...

Dave Allen was required watching all those years ago, before humour became 'woke. political, and unwatchable'!

One or two home truths...

My copy of the delightful Penguin Dictionary of Modern Humorous Quotations has a couple of gems...

• Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.

                    Sir Ernest Benn, quoted in The Observer, 1930

• When you're abroad, you're a statesman, when you're at home, you're just a politician.

                    Harold Macmillan.

...and one of the cleverest ones...

• I always wanted to get into politics but I was never light enough to get in the team.

                    Art Buchwald

Sounds about right to me...
