THERE is much speculation about swine flu, but rumour suggests that it started in the House of Commons in a trough marked “Unlimited Expenses”.
Having established itself there, it raced across London, and infected the House of Lords. It quickly gained strength and headed for the European Parliament. There it surprised us by infecting not only most MPs, but their families, friends and even in some cases, the odd dentist, mistress and house keeper.
The Prime Minister tried to stop it in its tracks, but was violently opposed by those addicted to the virus. Scientists have discovered that the answer to the cure is little x’s which shall have the power to cut-off the infected from the trough. So, if you have fallen victim to the “Unlimited Expenses Trough”, don’t worry, you will soon be cured.
