Great Moments in Edukayshin...

... an (extremely) occasional series.

During the course of my duty today...

(Law & the Media: SQA Unit F69 3... 5... somethin or other)

... I found it incumbent upon myself to explain a tricky concept to my eager, apple-cheeked HNC Meeja studes.

Defamation... more precisely, the concept of defamation by innuendo....

I looked out across a sea of faces... clearly untroubled by any kind of ability to comprehend the meaning of the word 'innuendo'.



I'm ashamed to say that I indulged in rampant gagsmithery...

I gave em the ole 'Italian suppository' schtick...

And then... once we'd established the meaning of the word... and the phrase 'double-entendre' had been settled on...

... I let myself down again.

"I always watch out for the double entendre when I'm reading over anything I've written. If I see one, I whip it out"

"Toots asked me for a proper definition of 'double entendre' last night... so I gave her one"



<vairsexist>

Still....

...there's the joy without measure that comes when a Yooni graduate who you taught 4 years ago (Access to Meeja Studies) gives ye the ole 'mention in dispatches' in the acknowledgements section of his final dissertation.

That and the (inament) 7 weeks holiday of course.

And heres me thinking Barry Cryer was dead.

He better not be - fukker still owes me for a couple of one-liners I sent him 5 years ago.

Cunt's prolly used em by now... on Jokers Wild or somesuch.

In other news...

I heard that they're going to go easy on Stuart Hall.

He's to serve his time in an open nick - he can come and go as he pleases.

But he'll be attached to a big bit of elastic and will snap back to his cell if he wanders anywhere near a school.






Note to Mods

Aren't the and smileys a little tautological/wasteful?

I miss the reindeer.

I hear with half the cast of corry and 70's british comedy looking at jail time, the prison panto will e the best ever.

Ted Ray's autobiography was titled...

"Ray's a Laugh"





I'm not even joking/trying to be funny

And neither is this guy...



(NB Readers d'un age certain with a weak constitution (or a moderately developed sense of humour) may want to think twice before clicking this link. Neither Sev, Plissken nor I take any responsibility for feelings of futility that any viewers may feel after watching the oldest joke in the world being told by the oldest (and only) crumple-faced SouthEffrikan comedian available in the 1970s.)

Barry Cryer is a comedy God tho.

Yours, in comedy,

You hadn't introduced the cycling retard to tautologies when he was adding the smileys. Call yourself a teacher? (insert the "immo is a bit of a prick" smiley)
