The diet tip FP just is not funny. Must have been a real shortage of funny stuff.

I'm guessing from the complaint that you're an obese heroin addict, and you found the whole thing offensive?

I disagree. The FP doesn't always have to be laugh uproariously funny to be good, and it was the quality of the writing, the fact that this story was adjusted and edited following suggestions, and the concept that appealed to me.
Thankfully, we don't all share precisely the same sense of humour. Then we'd end up with nothing but knob and fart jokes.

Thanks Jeni, I have now realised that it was the absence of knobs and farts that upset me. It pays to seek help in this forum. I hope VCG will remember to include the odd knob in future and if it can be combined with a fart so much the better. Seriously though, I agree that FPs don't have to be uproariously funny but I always hope to be at minimum mildly amused or offended. On this rare occasion nothing happened for me except the feeling that the sub was not at all funny and so not FP-worthy.
To Nunnion Splendacular: Not being fat and a heroin addict I did not find the sub offensive. Just did not find it funny to the extent that I wonder what others found funny. I am prepared to be convinced. I think I found it a bit sad.

Now I like knob jokes, and I like fart jokes, but which is better? There’s only one way to find out!

Yeah, why couldn't one of them inject their knob VCG?

Only one way to find out? Not another bloody Leverson inquiry

Jeni – if it helps you can substitute “between his toes” for “into his knob”.

Thanks VCG, I'll rewrite it with added knob injection and claim it as my own.

It did have a bit about him pooing himself.

I haven't read it so feel unqualified to comment further.

Agree not one of his best but if you were going to say something on the FP wasn't funny, surely it would have to be 'UK poor people must do more to help kill foreign poor people, says Defence Secretary.' No offence to the writer.

Have to agree Velma - is this really the best we have to offer?
