Telephone conversation between Gordon Brown and Colonel Gadaffi

Gordon: Colonel Gadaffi, so nice to speak with you again.

Gadaffi: Please Gordon, we are all friends here. You may call me Muammar al-Gaddafi, Brotherly Leader and Guide of the Revolution

Gordon: Right. So, Muammar al-Gaddafi, Brotherly Leader and Guide of the Revolution, have our gifts arrived?

Gadaffi: Well I was expecting 1.5 million pounds of aid, but instead, you've sent us 150 000 traps?

Gordon: That's right, a gift from Britain, to sort out your country's rat problem.

Gadaffi: But we don't have a problem with rats. We have a problem with Iraq....

Gordon: Oh, I'm sorry I must have misheard you...although you did say you'd be delighted to accept the humane traps.

Gadaffi: Humane? ohh, what's a simple misunderstanding between friends hey?

Be honest, did this really happen or did you just make it up?

Little bit too much of a stretch I thought. You are going for the whole humane/human mix up aren't you? Or have I missed something?

It's sort of true... the article's here if you're interested...

Originally I was going to make the call between Gadaffi and a rentokil representative, but then thought that using Gordon Brown would give it a broader appeal?

Might be more believable to drop GB?

More believable, yes, but still wouldn't be funny.

Fair do's guv'nors!

I'm a bit rusty, been concentrating on my stand-up, but there's no excuse for sloppy work.

Thanks for taking the time to review, and I promise to try harder, and be funnier in future.

Mwah!
