Absolutely brilliant.

I used to see loads of these when my parents were involved in compiling the church newsletter - a constant source of amusement. You see some great ones on church notice baords too.

When I worked in journalism I came across some pearlers too. I remember one but dare not post it on here. It was about a sponsored walk.
