1st - Richard Grantham with: [Two true stories from my life]
My girlfriend, in addition to being (among many other things) svelte, attractive, shrewd and thoroughly accomplished musically, has a formidable wit and she isn't afraid to use it.
One night she was playfully attempting to write some words on her stomach with a biro, but the ballpoint of the pen didn't quite work because the microscopic bump of fat surrounding her navel gave way just enough.
"Honey, look at me," she howled desolately. "I'm too fat for words!"
=
However, don't let it be said that I'm not up to the challenge of matching her wit...
On the first floor of the local shopping mall we once found a naked mannequin in a frock store window, and discovered to our surprise that he was labelled just above his bottom with a small copyright warning.
"They've copyrighted its bum!!" my inamorata giggled. "So... what do they do if your bum's identical to his?"
"Presumably, darling," I answered at this moment, "they sue your ass off."
