Staggeringly Funny
For the last twenty years I have been a regular entrant in the weekly competition in the New Statesman [the “Staggers” in inane public school slang]. Here are some of my entries which won, or which I thought ought to have won. Thanks to the New Statesman for setting such interesting challenges, which are reproduced before the entries.
