We had an great giggle at the entries submitted – but a clear winner emerged.
Remigius, take a bow, as your submissions raised the best laugh:

As I said yesterday, I have a space in my bookcase that is exactly the right size for ‘H L Mencken on Religion’.
It was a shelf for filling prophecy!

I can assure you I have never been, nor ever will be, a sexist.

Well done remigius. Your comments always have me in stitches. I’m sure bob will be happy for you too.

“Nutty chews” made my day, Remigius, congrats everyone else, you are all funny guys; I love reading this forum.

There is a slight problem with your point Remigius, for there to be a second coming there had to be a first one. Just a small point I know but I thought it was worth mentioning.

I guess computers are only as good as the idiot that’s using them. Sorry about the double post but I thought it was such a valid point it was worth mentioning (twice) oops!
