Berties Gets Pie in Face

Berties Gets Pie in Face

Sligo, 6.30pm, Apr 12.

On his way from meeting his cronies at the local newspaper, Taoiseach (that?s Prime minister in irish, but that?s the _only_ difference) Bertie Ahern was greeted by Agent Whatever of the biotic Baking Brigade. At first she was unsure which was the target, as she was confronted by a mass of almost identical boring men in suits. As time was running short she plumped for the short, fat one in the middle. The gasp of the crowd told her she had found her allotted target. As she ran away she could hear the sloshing of dozens of eager face-lickers, jostling to help Bertie clean his face. Bertie is always surrounded by a gaggle of sycophants, eager to get a piece of the pie. Within seconds he was clean and off to smile at more of Sligo?s finest citizens at the Chamber of Commerce dinner.

When asked for one of those funny statements BBB are famous for, Agent Whatever said, "I can?t think of anything funny about Bertie Ahern, he seemed very angry. I thought he could take a joke but now I will be charged with a public order offence. Perhaps he is just another miserable, corrupt power junkie like all my friends think."

The Irish division of the BBB said "we have no idea who our next target will be. There is no shortage of corrupt politicians in Ireland. A pie thrown randomly near any government building would have a hard time not hitting some corrupt old git. That?s the main reason we have been inactive so far; it isn?t really much of a challenge." ?

Although there isn't much of a challenge to Pie a Politician, it should be a regular occurance, no fat cat should escape the experience of licking the cream of shame from his/her fat jowl!
