I reckon you’re being a bit of a wet blanket here James; if you combed these letters more carefully you'd have picked up some cutting-edge lefty humour.
I thought this one was pure brilliance:
MR TONEGATIVITY Abbott strikes again. Ross Hosking, Bellevue Heights, SA
Took me a few minutes ‘sounding it out’ until the sheer genius struck home (answer: it’s Tony+negativity). Clever huh?
Bet that one’s got ‘em reeling at Liberal HQ Ross. ‘Who is this Hosking guy’ they’ll be muttering ‘and what can we do about him’?
But for mine it was Roger Quick of Mount Waverley who took the day with this pearler:
“I SEE that the coming Chinese year is the Year of the Rabbit. I hope it is not the year of ''Mr Rabbit''.
Roger, maayte, I had to pick myself up off the floor after that one - if only you could’ve worked in a ‘red speedos’ reference I reckon I would’ve peed my pants.
It just makes me wonder what other rib ticklers didn’t make the cut. Maybe The Age should have a special side-bar for Abbott quips – nothing over 25 words – I’m sure it’d be comedy gold.
