Ardi Rizal Is The Lucky 2-Year-Old Chain Smoker: Video
ARDI Rizal is the two-year-old chain smoker. Rizal has a name that is made for smoking. Rizal is the Rizla. Vera Lynn Rizal would be better name but if Ardi is not important by his puberty, there is hope.
The Indonesian puppy fat farm smokes 40 cigarettes, having started smoking the evil weed when he was 14-months-old.
Says his mum:
“He’s totally addicted. If he doesn’t get cigarettes, he gets angry and screams and batters his head against the wall. He tells me he feels dizzy and sick.”
Says dad:
“He looks pretty healthy to me. I don’t see the problem.”
Nor does he hear one – until Ardi has his Speak ‘n’ Spell stuck into his voice box. Smoking at 2 is young – Old Mr Anorak didn’t get to enjoy the weed until his early teens. He’s calling him mum now, the Grand Dowager Anorak, to complain about being deprived.
One thing, Ardi’s dad might want him to be careful with matches. Best to buy the ciggies ready lit. Safety first…

Wild Asian Ass Is An Excuse For Internet Donkey Porn
MR Jack Sedgewick is looking on the web for “Wild Asian Ass”.
The Mirror is judgemental and called Mr Sedgewick a “great-grandfather”, a “retired engineer” and most damning of all a “crossword enthusiast”.
Because Mr Sedgewick is 89 he is labelled. Above all he is man. Ageism is rife. Says he, who claims to have typed “Wild Asian ass” into a search engine to help solve a crossword clue and was inundated with porn (adolescent boys and pensioners take note):
“I have been left shaken by the whole experience. I did not even know this sort of stuff existed.”
The story ends with the line:
Jack, who was at home with wife Hilda, 86, finally found the answer, “onager”, by changing his search to “donkey sanctuaries”.
Which are everyone knows is a euphemism for Old Mr Anorak’s Bangkok Ping-Pong Team’s Winter Training Camp…
Mr Sedgewick is innocent.

Fun With Waxworks: Man Meets Greats At Museum (Photos)

How we were to know the gang were old pals on a day out sightseeing? Anyhow, we all had a very food laugh – much like this chap who is spending a night in the waxwork museum (or is he?)…
