Double speak politicians...the Viz way

I don't get it....

you need him sexually, at least if i interpret it that way i chuckle.

Finbarr Saunders (for those not in the know) is one of the more amusing characters from the Viz magazine who constantly hears innuendos in innocent language- but somehow misses the real thing at the end.. it is true highschool humour and much baser than any creation in the Beano.

It is such an unusual name, I thought it was to be found only in the confines of the Viz magazine. I mean, what would you think if you saw a campain sign for Billy Bunter?

I realize that this forum is truly international and the anglo-humour reference may be lost to readers in Canada, or Idaho.

i guess i committed a finbarr saunders .

OK. Now I get it (I think). I had truly never heard of Finbarr Saunders. Thanks.

District 4, Seat A, eh? Fnarr Fnarr.

I suppose it is too rude to explain, but I have no idea what is funny about this!

Sometimes I do not see the obvious humour in a thing.

Do you have to read Viz to understand?

Sorry. George

PS Many years ago when Peter Temple Morris was the MP for North Hereford and Leominster, in one election there was a fairly snappy poster that announced in yellow on blue, "TM for MP."

Some wag painted Temple Meads for MP over it! Probably not as funny but at least I got it! For our American [continental] readers, who may not necessarily know, this is the main Bristol Railway Station, and thus possibly a link may be drawn with the gravy train etc.

My personal favourite double-entendre

Woman walked into a bar and asked for a double-entendre...

So the barman gave her one.
