When the Base PX announced that new supplies of hotdogs and donuts had arrived, and that it was "first come, first served", the MP's readied themselves for some "queue management".

OK, let’s see where we ended up [at least, in my mind!].

Firstly, there was no bonus for getting close to my first thought, which was “Behind You!!”

The Topical Joke Award is equally, and justifiably, shared by:

Penny Washers - “Security arrangements for next year's Conservative Party Conference will be toughened up. The extra smoke, however, might provoke the PM's cough.”
Danny42C - “Viva Catalonia!”
JAVELIN BOY - “Who had the idea to use Woodall Spa as a riot training ground?”

Honourable Mentions go to:
Buster Hyman - “The Mosul Line Dancing Society reinstated their Winter Ball.”
andytug - ”Sir..... when you said we were going out clubbing I was rather hoping it would involve alcohol and women......."
squeaker - “Ok, has anyone seen the carrots?”

And now the Winners, in reverse order.

Applause for the winner,
Since it was not me, I don't think so !

Sigh...... Oh very well I will allude to the fact that the winning comment had some small amount of merit.

Actually since Nutty was Air Force and not an esteemed member of the Senior Service like myself, I should revise my opinion to well done, you sir exceeded my expectations.
