Any way to get this on the reading list in schools in Arizona?

Crumbs mate. You do get up early to write this. I haven't even seen the Sunday Times yet

Oh, that's brilliant, Mike, thanks so much for posting. What a great read with a good cup of Joe first thing in the morning. I laughed out loud about 20 times, and changed my mind as many times about which one-liner was the zingiest. It could be this one: " St Rumbold’s feast day is November 3. That’s the day he died and was born again in heaven. I bet God was pleased to get him back. He is the patron saint of preciosity, child film stars and premature ejaculation."

Anyway, thanks.
