a quick one liner!

Hi everyone,
Trying to do some topical jokes,
What do you think of this one liner? any good?

Derik Acorah has been arrested for drink driving,
it's the first time anyone has been able to prove he was in contact with spirits!

You could cut the word count to make it snappier

Derek acorah has been arrested for drink driving, proving he does have contact with spirits.

Good idea, edited version better.

Yes, thank you, edited version much better,

Derek acorah has been arrested for drink driving, proving he does have contact with spirits. Apparently they weren't complimentary.

I sort of feel the words "..he normally doesn't touch spirits.." should be involved somehow.
But perhaps that's another joke.

Good gag - nice edit.

Good gag. Unfortunately he has been arrested for careless driving, not drink driving.
Why did Derek Acorah cross the road?

He was very angry with it!

Who was it that said 'never let the facts get in the way of a good gag'

Max Mosely?

In that case how about?

After being arrested for careless driving, police say Derek Acorah tested negative for being under the influence of spirits.

That's actually better, because it gets the boot in about the fraudulent nature of mediums. IN fact, if it were me, I'd end it with, "No shit". Laughing out loud

A bit wordy, but you've definitely got a decent gag there.
