This is paraphrased from the Sunday Telegraph but it made me howl!

Dazed by love, Britain's grip on the simplest of meteorological facts-and indeed on a whole roster of other basic physical contingies-is terrifyingly uncertain, according to our latest research.Of the members of a polled group who asked themselves" Are the stars out tonight?" a full 100% admitted they hadn't a clue, furthermore this same group could not ascertain whether it was cloudy or bright. Of more concern, they declared themselves unable to state their own whereabouts and maintained they did not know if they were in a garden or on some crowded avenue ( they were, in fact, neither but the researcher chose not to point this out).Later members of the group were heard to say that " maybe millions of people" were in the vicinity for all the difference it made to the members, for whom any such people dissapeared from view. The researcher was obliged to conclude that the group only had eyes for him.

Isn't it priceless? Who wrote the original BTW?
