So true Holden. Surpluses are notoriously hungry, and then they go through that stage at about 18 months of age where they chew absolutely everything. And you might end up with one that howls at the moon. Wait, sorry, that’s Opposition Leaders.
Spot on again FD. The real joke will be if the wreckers get in next year. With their numbers man unable to see his toes let alone use them when he is doing his sums, they are going to have double the black hole their sums had last time.

October 23, 2012 at 1:07 pmI hope he also lets them know a surplus is not just for the holidays. Someone will have to feed it and clean up after it . . .
How do I know it won’t be the press gallery?

Always lusting after the new best thing.
Whatever happened to that poor, unloved deficit?
You cartoonists are so fickle.

October 23, 2012 at 2:00 pmWhat word describes a surplus of surpluses?
An insight from the Carole Bayer Sager song ‘Don’t Wish Too Hard’ which I dedicate to the fickle and feckless commentariat:
‘What you really wanted and what you really wished for
You never really wanted at all’

October 23, 2012 at 2:16 pmDoes it do tricks or do we just sit around stroking it compulsively ?
