Here's a letter responding to a review in the LRB of a book about British comedy.

Can't you take a joke?
Jonathan Coe describes my friend Roger Law, the artist, caricaturist and satirist, as 'one of the puppeteers behind Spitting Image' (LRB, 2 November). To my mind, that's like calling Paul McCartney a 'guitar technician'. Roger, who can take a joke better than the next, nonetheless abhors in- accuracy and has asked me to tell you that he 'fùcking hates puppets'. He and Peter Fluck used grotesque latex homunculi to scandalise the bourgeoisie, piss off the pompous and give the rest of us a good laugh. Highly skilled puppeteers played a vital role, but the mind boggles at the pro- spect of Roger Law, a 6'5" giant, crash- ing about under lights on a Sunday night with his hand up Margaret Thatcher. He's bigger than that.

We were at a fund-raising evening for Julian House (a charity for the homeless) last night. Apart from good food and Dr Phil Hammond, there were several local comedians. The most poignant joke for me was from the fellow who said he'd gone back-packing for two years - you know, carrying all your stuff with you, sleeping rough. Except they don't call it back-packing when it's not in the Peak District or the Lakes, but through the centre of Bristol (he phrased it more elegantly than me).

OK ... not presented as a joke, but these paragraphs seen in the Guardian today made me laugh out loud ...
'It's so not fair' - stamps tiny foot. He should have placed a bet on post-Brexit own goals instead of buying a lottery ticket.
In another article in the same source about Jenrick...
