A Step in the Wrong Direction

There was a man called Eddie who had a bad leg. One day he went to the circus and when he got there he went to the ticket box where he met Bill the ticket man. Eddie bought a ticket and went in.

As he went down the steps he accidentally tripped and fell. He tripped on his shoelace and landed on an antique cup. The circus master came and inspected the situation and then called the police.

The police came and after further inspection, arrested him at once. The man then said, ‘Why are you arresting me?’

‘We are arresting you for falling and breaking an antique cup.’

He went to court, and the judge said, ‘Why is this man here?’

And they said,

‘Because he tripped on a cup.’

The lawyer that defended Eddie said, ‘No he didn’t, he actually tripped on his shoelace and fell on the cup.’

The judge said ‘This case is wasting my time.’

‘Why is it wasting your time?’ said the circus master.

The judge continued: ‘The person you are suing happens to be my best mate.’

‘What?’ said the circus master. The judge took off his coat and hat. Just then Eddie’s eyes widened.

‘Is that you, Smartie Artie?’

‘Yes and I can tell you are Steady Eddie.’

‘How do you know that?’ asked Steady Eddie.

‘You said, Is that you Smartie Artie? earlier.’

‘Anyway,’ Said Steady Eddie, ‘I’ve got to go to the airport and head to New York.’

‘Ok see you later.’ Said Smartie Artie.

Hereward College – The Agent is Coming (1)

I was starting my first day at a college in Coventry. I got up in the morning feeling bloated. I got dressed and surfed the net to find traffic reports for the M1 motorway. There was a minor traffic jam but nothing too serious.

(I am not an ordinary 21 year old. I am an agent working for the CIA. Hereward College knows nothing.)

I then went downstairs to have some chocolate chip pancakes. They were lovely. I had them with cream. After breakfast I finished packing and then watched some well deserved TV.

At about 12 my mum said, ‘Time to go.’

‘Ok,’ I said.

My mum and I packed the car and I set the sat nav. Just as we finished my Dad appeared and said: ‘Thank you!’

‘Your welcome,’ said Mum.

We stepped into the car and headed northwest. I turned on my Ipod and watched The Simpson’s Movie. Mum was reading the paper and my dad started fiddling with the radio.

One hour on and we were all feeling hungry. Just then we could see Steady Eddie hitch-hiking at the side of the road.

We stopped and let him in.

‘What’s happening?’ he said.

The Pointless Journey

Mr English lives in Ealing. He applied for a job as a banker in Canary Wharf.

The interviewer said, ‘You’re hired. See you tomorrow!’

So Mr English went home. The next day he went to work. When he arrived at the office at 7pm the boss came out and said, ‘What are you doing here?’

‘Working’ said Mr English.

Boss: ‘It is 7pm! Try to be on time!’

By the time Mr English got back home it was
