A French MP was caught this week playing scrabble during a parliamentary session. Of course, MP's in this country would never disrespect their position so...
MP #1:
Mr. Speaker, Mr. Speaker, may I ask the honourable gentleman opposite what exactly is his view of the new proposed rules and whether he thinks his constituents would wish him to vote for such changes?
MP #2:
Mr. Speaker, the honourable lady knows very well my views on this travesty of a change. Z is worth 10 points! Always has and while I sit in this chamber, it always shall! None of this 6 points for a Z. It is no X madam!
MP #1:
I was of course referring to the possible boundary changes put before this parliament.
MP #2:
Ah, well, then I am in vehement disagreement with the honourable lady. The boundaries should change - Irkutsk and Kamchatka should be amalgamated into a single territory. Much better with which to launch an attack on North America from Asia.
MP #1:
Mr. Speaker, the honourable gentleman is obviously not paying attention to these vital matters. Maybe he will answer a question closer to his own purview. As a home office minister does he believe the recent increase in violent crime is something which can be ignored?
MP #2:
No Mr. Speaker I do not. In fact, I have personally seen to it that a warning has been issued to all mansion owners not to answer the door to anyone with a colourful name. Additionally they should dispense with all pewter weapons for the time being.
MP #1:
Mr. Speaker, this is disgraceful behaviour. Next he will be suggesting we all Go to Jail. Go Directly to Jail. Do Not Pass Go. Do Not Collect £200.
MP #2:
No madam, that is only Chris Huhne.
