NEWSPAPER HEADLINE:
"Government announces cuts in child benefit"
LANDLORD:
"Another nail in the coffin for the pub trade."
Cartoon Perhaps?
I'm posting this response because I HATE seeing posts that no f**ker's even got the consideration to comment on. And I'm one of them!

It's exceedingly funny and would be perfect as a one-liner for a comedian who doesn't care about shoving the blindingly obvious truth up the noses of people who don't want any kind of truth anywhere near them.
The wyly Ming has extricated himself from my earlier insult. He's a good man, or not a man, but be nice to whatever it is.
Thanks for the feedback. Good idea that it could work in stand up.
