Most of what he did and pretty much all he said either referenced or simulated sexual function. A few examples that stick in the memory:</p>
<p>-Enthusiastically and noisily licking a protrusion in the classroom&rsquo;s plasterboard wall on the basis that it was &ldquo;a clitoris&rdquo;.</p>
<p>-Jumping in front of the deputy head in the 6th Form common room, bending down low and spreading his arse cheeks apart with his hands. Because (in Abbot's opinion) the deputy head was gay, and would appreciate it.</p>
<p>-Drawing a detailed picture of a naked Mrs Tomalin, with meticulous detail and colouring on her vagina. He labelled this the &lsquo;Triangle Of Delight&rsquo; and pretended to pleasure it with his mouth like it was some kind of clitoral plasterboard wall.</p>
<p>-Pretending that a glue stain on the common room window was in fact his semen, which had flown out while he was masturbating. He would simulate the sound of this hot ejaculation by going &ldquo;SSsssss&rdquo;.</p>
<p>-Serenading Dytham with a song outlining his gayness.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Well, Dytham&rsquo;s a homosexual<br>
He really is so gay<br>
He likes to get boys on the ground<br>
And roll them in the hay<br>
If you should hear old Dytham<br>
Making such a din<br>
He&rsquo;ll have got some poor boy&rsquo;s trousers down<br>
And pushed his penis in</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Dytham was not gay, but that's OK - it he was, this song would have been homophobic.</p>
<p>-Proposing to the school council that we should have a swimming pool party in the school pool. When asked to elaborate what that actually involved he said &lsquo;we just get a mixed group of sixth formers in there and encourage intercourse&rsquo;</p>
<p>We never had that swimming party.</p>

<p>I happen to have a doctorate in AIDS on toast so I can answer some of your questions.</p>
<p>AIDS is frequently applied to the toast via infected spunk, although there is a second method in which the toast is rubbed against the cock to transfer AIDS. Once someone eats it they become infected with AIDS.</p>
<p>A normal gay diet would probably include 2-4 slices per day, although a boy at my school managed to eat 8 slices in one day.</p>
<p>Since I&rsquo;m straight, I have no idea what AIDS on toast would taste like.</p>

Wearing her frocks and perfume.&lt;/p&gt;</description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the late 80&rsquo;s there was a weekly, Captial radio phone-in about personal/sexual problems. It featured self-appointed sexagonal-aunt Anna Raeburn, and a Doc. Essential listening for all 16 year olds eager to learn about loving relationships, Or the eye-watering ins and outs of butterballing.</p>
<p>One night, Adam Wright was the anonymous caller. After the tragic death of his mother, his dad was forcing him to do the housework. Wearing her frocks and perfume.</p>
<p>As things worsened, he was urging young Adam to pay particularly close attention to the bedroom. In order to show him some fundamentally incorrect love.</p>
<p>Adam was gulping and fighting back tears throughout, and so moving was the concern of Anna and the Doc, that Adam didn&rsquo;t have the heart to tell them - even when his mother called him down for tea - that they&rsquo;d just been fished in by a fuck-minded teenager.</p>
<p>The TDK D90 containing this conversation was a treasured artefact for many weeks.</p>

<p>I heard this chilling caution too, and recall specifically that the reason for the terrible risk of death upon blowing into the vagina was that  <em>the air gets into the bloodstream</em> .</p>
<p>This explanation is delivered with a sense of  gravity, and a look that said &lsquo;Ah, I knew you were going to ask me that. Most people who&rsquo;ve never seen a lady&rsquo;s downbelows ask that question.&rsquo;</p>
<p>Questioning the truth of the air embolism was therfore akin to saying &ldquo;I am such a big virgin that it&rsquo;s gone beyond a joke. I shouldn&rsquo;t be allowed.&rdquo;</p>

<p>Actually, I used to repair Hysteroflators for a living (used for endoscopic surgery). If the uterus is inflated at a rate faster than 0.2 litres per minute, you run the risk of bursting it. Killing a woman in this manner, whilst possible, would involve creating an airtight seal and blowing  <em>very</em>  hard.</p>

<p><em>More evidence that women are in constant danger of their fannies blowing up, from Hannah Peterson.</em></p>
<p>Going by the pages I found by searching for &ldquo;vagina air embolus&rdquo; it&rsquo;s possible, but more likely soon after childbirth. A quote from <a href="http://www.midwivesonline.com/sex.htm">http://www.midwivesonline.com/sex.htm</a>: &ldquo;It is not advisable to have penetrative sex in the days after the birth. There is a risk of air embolus - meaning that the penis can act as a piston inside the vagina and drive air into the maternal blood stream through the raw placental site. This air can travel to the major organs and can be fatal.&rdquo;</p>
<p>I&rsquo;d imagine that blowing into the vagina could maybe have a similar effect, depending on how hard and piston-like you blew through the raw, placental site.</p>

<p>Once we found a frog, sitting on a large rock. We were all gathered around admiring the hapless amphibian when Little Fricker produced a claw hammer and smashed the luckless critter right in the back.</p>
<p>Symptoms of frog hammer attack : a wafer thin depression where its back once was, and all of its innards had been jettisonned from its mouth. Eyes, however, remained in their sockets.</p>

<p>I went fishing with my Nan and my cousin once. I caught a perch, but couldn&rsquo;t get the hook out of it&rsquo;s mouth. With the confidence of the seasoned fisherwoman, my Nan deftly pulled the hook out, bringing with it the eyes and jaw of the rather surprised fish.</p>
<p>She just said &lsquo;shit&rsquo;, took her shoe off, smashed the poor little fucker on the head and threw it back in the lake.</p>
<p>The journey home was quiet, and included lots of staring out of the car window.</p>

<p>Goats will happily eat tiny frogs if they are wrapped up in leaves, greek style.</p>
<p>If you don&rsquo;t have goats around, the only other use for tiny frogs (whose anuses are too small to slip Calypso straws into) is to practice roundhouse kicks by throwing them into the air, and kicking them into a kind of dead dimension as they land.</p>

<p>My foster sister had downs syndrome, and being typically affectionate, loved the cat very, very much. So much so, that one day she gave it a gleeful squeeze and it&rsquo;s bot popped out. Don&rsquo;t worry, ladies, the cat lived for many years; just with a very long anus.</p>

<p>&ldquo;The Wheels of Death&rdquo; were quite simply the most efficient killing system employed by anyone since Auschwitz.</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>Gather up as many snails as you can find.  A damp school playground is an excellent place to look. A tupperware container is useful to store your molluscy trophies.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Find a nearby car that you know will be driven soon.  If you&rsquo;re doing this at school, now is an excellent time to take a trip to the teachers&rsquo; car park.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Place the snails all around the tyres of this car. They will conveniently stick themselves to the tyres!</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Wait. Wait wait wait.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The door closes. The engine starts up. The car reverses up to pull out. The first few snails pop satisfyingly, a mere teaser.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>As the car slowly drives away, listen to that rhythmic crunch.</p>
<p>That is the sound of death, my friends.</p>

<p>I used to live near an old mill pond, and occasionally perch would appear, dead in the reedy edges.</p>
<p>Commenting that one of these perch - with its slack, gaping mouth and beady eyes - looked like my friend&rsquo;s mother, I leant in to note the similarities further.</p>
<p>Just as my friend, enraged at this scaled clone&rsquo;s likeness, jumped on it, launching a mixture of shoe dirt and perch guts into my mouth.</p>
<p>So, I can verify that this is what happens when someone jumps on a dead perch. If you are looking into its mouth.</p>

<p>Take one of everything with a picture of a skull or some fire on it out of the kitchen, and/or shed. Mix. Put mixture in one of those garden spray containers for misting plants. Spray directly onto spider&rsquo;s webs then poke the middle to make them come scurrying out. Light.</p>
<p>That&rsquo;ll teach the little fuckers for having eight legs and being creepy.</p>

<p>My Dad, who being a keen gardener hated slugs, taught me that the best way to kill them was by pouring salt on them. Naturally, I passed this information on to my classmates, and the resultant carnage was worse than the daddy-long-legs genocide which had occurred a few months previously.</p>
<p>Dad, however, quickly tired of wasting good salt on mere molluscs, and was keenly researching new ways of making slugs die. One morning he proudly showed me how far he had managed to shoot a slug&rsquo;s innards after stamping on one end of it. They’d gone at least a foot.</p>
<p>That day at school, there wasn’t an unstamped slug in sight.</p>

<p>That Germans made such a vowel-heavy nasal whine in their death throes made them big wet pansies. A stout Englishman dying in the field would bellow &ldquo;WHOOAARGGGHH&rdquo;. In days of heavier casualties, it was like being trapped in the Brian Blessed dimension.</p>

<p>My girlfriend, who is both a woman and a medical student, has informed me that it is a documented medical fact that an ovary can, in theory, be as sensitive as a testicle when squeezed.</p>
<p>However she has also informed me that the only way in which an ovary can be directly squeezed in such a way is during a thorough rectal exam. In other words it&rsquo;s necessary that the squeezer has one or a number of fingers very far up the arse of the woman.</p>
<p>However, I am sure enough that my girlfriend&rsquo;s spirit of scientific enquiry would stop well before allowing me to test this theory that I&rsquo;m not going to risk asking.</p>

<p>At the age of around ten my brother and I used a borrowed video camera to make the stultifyingly boring feature-length plot vacuum called  <strong>The Gun</strong> , voiced entirely in American accents.  Except for the &lsquo;school bully&rsquo; character, who was a sort of mockney, and wore a waistcoat and bermuda shorts. If he&rsquo;d had an American accent, it would have just been  <em>stupid</em> .</p>

<p>We saw this video in rural Somerset and there was a rumour that there was an urban version which took place on a building site. We asked the teacher if he could get hold of it, but I don&rsquo;t think he wanted to encourage us.</p>
<p>Apaches ended with a scene where the last kid to die attended his own funeral in spirit form. The added to the fear of the farmyard the less tangible, but more nightmare inducing, fear of a strange and infinite afterlife where you specifically haunted the dung stinking back stairs of your family farmhouse intoning &lsquo;I wish I was there, oh yes, I wish I was there&rsquo; like a phantom from Scooby Doo.</p>

<p>We were shown the building site version of this film at our primary school. A small boy ran onto a building site after his dog, and was killed in several gory ways. He was being watched by a couple of speccy kids in a spaceship, who would bring him back to life after each death. Of particular note is his death after being run over by a truck; &ldquo;time is money to these machines&rdquo; declares the narrator, implying that it isn&rsquo;t that they won&rsquo;t see you - they just won&rsquo;t  <em>care</em> .</p>

<p>I&rsquo;m more inclined to think that this is a reference to the gay phenomenon of glory holes, where gay man stick their willies through holes in toilet walls and another man hops on in whatever fashion he fancies.

This isn&rsquo;t very erotic for the man who is sucking it off, so he might put his bum on it instead.</p>

<p>Even better, if you blue tack one of those plastic craft knives into the fold down the centre of the aeroplane, so that the blade protrudes from the front of the aircraft, it becomes a highly accurate and lethal weapon of terror that will easily lodge into walls, blackboards, flesh etc.</p>

<p>Mr Anstey - mild-mannered R.E. teacher faced an up-hill struggle every week.  Nobody really cared about &ldquo;what kind of lentils Muslins had for breakfast&rdquo;. What they  <em>were</em>  interested in was having the man endure squadrons of paper planes pelting his back, while he chalked up The Ten Commandments.</p>
<p>Mr Anstey:  <em>&ldquo;Right. Pieces of paper are now 10p each!&rdquo;</em></p>
<p>Class clown, after throwing a Â£1 coin at teacher and strolling up to grab a pile of paper:  <em>&ldquo;OK. I&rsquo;ll take ten.&rdquo;</em></p>
<p>You see, on God &amp; stuff he was mustard. Forecasting current trends in market forces, though - rubbish.</p>

<p>The victimisation of Carlisle&rsquo;s Ben Hodgson reached a peak when the &ldquo;Anti Ben Campaigners&rdquo; formed. Not just your average group of Ben-hating teenagers, we had a string of successful singles, the best-remembered being &ldquo;Ben is a Bummer&rdquo;.</p>
<p>Our group was forced to retire after one of our cassettes was passed about on a school trip, and a teacher listened to it.</p>
<p>Apparently, a group of boys dedicating every spare hour to writing songs about Ben bumming things was not only bullying, but it  <em>said more about us than it did about Ben</em> .</p>

It occurred in my last year at high school, at our Sports Day held in the Queen Elizabeth II recreation centre.</p>
<p>Now, Hillmorton being the PC, progressive school that it is, we had a special unit on the school grounds for students that were severely physically and mentally handicapped. After the initial shock of having &ldquo;them&rdquo; in the school, people soon learned to capitalise on the humour element, as they had the habit of making loud mongoloid noises in school assemblies. Quite amusing.</p>
<p>Anyway, it was decided that, to be fair and equal, these students would have their own race&hellip; a wheelchair race, where able-bodied students would push the handicapped students along the track in front of the school. That was fine&hellip; everyone was sitting round going &ldquo;isn&rsquo;t it good that they can take part, please have some of my fine sponge cake&rdquo;.  And thus far, we had satisfied ourselves with laughing at one of the helpers pushing a wheelchair, who was hugely fat. However, we were to be treated to something deeply more.</p>
<p>To the absolute shocked amazement of everyone watching, one of the wheelchairs ran into a stone on the track. The wheel jammed and came to a sudden stop. The confused helper kept pushing, however, which lent an extra momentum to the handicapped girl, who was now sailing through the air.</p>
<p>She landed face first onto the hard track&hellip; and because she was so handicapped, she could do NOTHING to break her fall. This was the source of extreme tragedy, and consequently, humour. It all seemed to happen in slow motion&hellip; we saw her fly out of her chair, and do a graceful arc in mid-air and then slam heavily down onto the ground. There was a collective inward gasp amongst the crowd, and a rather shocked silence.</p>
<p>Then, to the disgust of the teachers who worked with the handicapped teens and who were now rushing in horror to the girl&rsquo;s side, the faint murmurs of laughter could be heard tittering round the place. With hindsight, something like this HAD to happen&hellip; and in a really unpleasant way, I&rsquo;m glad it did.</p>

<p>This is a comment on the entry by ian henderson. i think you should take it off your site. it is not funny, but offensive, sneering and discriminatory.</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>Imagine this story being submitted again, only replacing every reference to disabled people with a reference to &ldquo;pakis&rdquo;. Still funny? Still inoffensive? Bet you wouldn&rsquo;t post it, because taking the piss out of some minorities, like ethnic groups, is not on, whereas taking the piss out of others, disabled people, is still fair game.</p>
<p>Besides, this is basically a story about somebody falling out of a wheelchair, which is hardly Oscar Wilde, is it? And, since 1978, only cunts use the word &ldquo;mongoloid&rdquo;. It displays a basic lack of education or intellect.</p>
<h5 id="anon">[anon]</h5>
<hr>
<p>Uh&hellip;as far as I know, &ldquo;Pakis&rdquo;, (in either the crap 70&rsquo;s sense of anyone with brown skin, or indeed the US/Australian sense, which is merely an abbreviation for someone from Pakistan, with no racial slur to it at all (talk to an Australian about cricket to hear this first hand &ldquo;we thrashed the Pakis&rdquo; etc.)) aren&rsquo;t prone to falling out of wheelchairs. Unless they are disabled in that way themselves, of course.</p>
<p>No one is asking you to find this story funny. It merely reports an incident. Not only does your argument about &ldquo;pakis&rdquo; make no sense, but your attempt to take the moral high ground by pointing out (like, wow) the word mongoloid could be considered offensive was utterly negated by your use of the word &ldquo;cunt.&rdquo; There is a large group of people who would consider that to be misogynist in the extreme. You big hairy twat.</p>
<h5 id="susan-t">Susan T</h5>
<hr>
<p>&lt;I&gt; Here follows a counterpoint to the complaints we have received regarding this submission. Obviously,  this person is not a spokesperson for the entire disabled community,  and as this is the internet, we don&rsquo;t know if they even &ldquo;really are&rdquo; a disabled (there may be a give-away in the use of the phrase &ldquo;step down from my soapbox&rdquo;*) but they do make an interesting point.</p>
<p>*Oh what a shit joke. Sorry. Um, I only put it in to &ldquo;test&rdquo; you.  Please don&rsquo;t run over my hands with your wheelchair, if you are one of the wheelchair ones.  Xx*</p>
<p>Excellent story Ian. As a disabled person nothing angers me more than do-gooders moaning about stories like these. It&rsquo;s hangovers like them that make decisions like having children in wheelchairs pushed at speed on running tracks.</p>
<p>If something is funny and it happened, that&rsquo;s life, live with it, it&rsquo;s the PC society that has been created today by moaning, do-gooder muppets that makes living in the UK today like living in a totalitarian state. Shut your faces and let people live their lives and laugh, life&rsquo;s too f*****g short.</p>
<p>I now step down from my soapbox.</p>
<h5 id="anon-1">[anon]</h5>

<p><em>Admin says: And the last word goes to A Ha!. No further commentary on this one, please. It&rsquo;s a good story, and if you don&rsquo;t love it, please take yourself to a ditch and get punch-fucked by a Furby - Log.</em></p>
<p>As the partner of a wheelchair user, both of us with fine senses of dark humour, I read this out to him as tears of laughter streamed down both our faces. To say that this story isn&rsquo;t funny, is ridiculous. The world has gone PC mad and it is blooming annoying that people feel they have to be upset on the behalf of others. Get a life! If people are upset for the right reasons, they should be the ones who are upset and complaining.</p>
<p>Suggestion for the Olympic Committee - can we make this race into a new sprint/long jump hybrid? Race the fliddy at a ramp with a stopper as fast as you can to get a great result?</p>
<p>I shall now push my partner from the soap box and climb down to pick him up again. :oP</p>

<p>So, I was walking down the road when the fucking funniest thing ever happened: A Teenage girl got stabbed in the face! She fell over bleeding, quite alot, probably to death. I almost pissed myself. What made it funnier was that this girl was a paki! Aaah, Good Times!</p>

<p>Also consistently staggering is the inappropriate naming of a child as Richard with certain surnames. Hare, Spray, Spring, Lovatt are just four of the ones I know, and that&rsquo;s not even counting the hilarious Jasper Carrott &ldquo;Richard Dick aka Double Dick&rdquo; routine. Yes, I know it&rsquo;s old stuff, but if it&rsquo;s good enough for King Carrott, it&rsquo;s good enough for The Law of the Fucking Playground.</p>

<p>When not in earshot of a teacher, &ldquo;arrrrrrrrr&rdquo;, or it&rsquo;s regional variation &ldquo;aaaaaaaahhhhhh&rdquo; is followed by &ldquo;I&rsquo;m getting you duuuuun!&rdquo; and ostentatious teacher-hunting gestures.</p>
<p>Getting &ldquo;done&rdquo; was my mortal fear for most of primary school.</p>
<h5 id="peter-m">Peter M</h5>

<p>&ldquo;Am.&rdquo; A Lincolnshire variation on &lsquo;arrrrrrrr&rsquo; and &lsquo;ummmmmmmm.&rsquo;</p>
<h5 id="bobs-m">Bobs M</h5>
<hr>
<p>Errrrmmmmmmmmmmmmm or errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr being the midlands variation as far as i know. Can also be repeated many times quickly (and prolonging the &rsquo;erm&rsquo; for different lengths of time to emphasise, in a kind of spastic morse code, exactly how naughty the other child has been) so you tend to get something like ermermerrrrmermermermmmmmmmmmmm. In cases of  <em>extreme</em>  wrongdoing, you might need more than one lungful – in this case, ask a friend to  <em>take the baton</em>  towards the end of your ermemreermermm, while you pause for air. In this way, a perpetual emememeeemrremrmmer may be maintained without any real effort.</p>

<p>The north eastern version of this was &ldquo;eeeeeeh&rdquo;.</p>
<p>During playtime at infant school, a girl said this to Crazy Shaun, who promptly punched her in the face and fled the school grounds - we never did find out what he&rsquo;d been doing to prompt the &ldquo;eeeeeeh&rdquo; – it probably wasn’t as serious as punching a girl in the face then going AWOL.</p>

<p>There is also the &quot; <em>Just You Wait Cha Cha Cha</em> &ldquo;, which goes;</p>
<p>Just you wait, cha-cha-cha.</p>
<p>Just you wait, cha-cha-cha.</p>
<p>Just you wait, cha-cha-cha.</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>Repeat to tears.</p>

<p>Eeeesh! is the newcastle variation, not to be confused with errrrr! - a cry of disgust.</p>

&lt;p&gt;&amp;lsquo;Yeah, well you&amp;rsquo;re ugly and your mum dresses you funny&amp;rsquo; was a popular retort to the pronoucement that your dad is gay. The small yet significant flaw is that it does not of course &lt;em&gt;deny&lt;/em&gt; that your dad is a homosexualist, but in fact almost seems to confirm it.&lt;/p&gt;</description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Arises from the magnificent birthday poem written to celebrate Jamie Hutchison&rsquo;s birthday.
