What do newsagents sell that makes people suddenly want to vote Tory ?
Is it going to be the Daily Mail?
Makes me want to vote Communist.
Do you get one for the Daily Telegraph as well? You probably might yeah
He's clawing his way back to victory.
No this is a very um odd thing but newsagents sell them,
What about The Sun?
This is not a newspaper I will now say but it's something these agents sell.
They sell something that makes you want to vote conservative.
Well it does if things turn out well after you've bought this particular item. So we're really back to the last question.
Is it a lottery ticket?
It's a lottery ticket. If you win the lottery many Labour voters who won the lottery
said they changed their mind and where now Tory voters.
What a depressing comment on humanity.
Perhaps even more depressing is that the American therapists have a name for the syndrome which is sudden wealth syndrome.
Which is presumably what they suffer from whenever they name a syndrome they they make
money by deciding you have a syndrome.
That's a really boring name for it.
But these are the same people who said that you lose someone you love they die and you are still
ALAN SNEEZES
That was huge.
There are people in California now looking at their seismographs going Jesus Christ.
What's that?!
Is it because I said the word died?
So sorry for interrupting.
No no no it's fine it just was a revolting thing about psychologists who basically said that if someone you love dies and you're still inconsolable with grief six months
later that is a mental condition what's that called just six months later
What's that called?
It's called grieving. It is perfectly reasonable.
A syndrome we read off recently is you know when you come out the pictures and you sneeze? Do you do that when you go from a dark thing or look at the sun, yeah, it's got a real fancy name now.
I've never sneezed when walking through the dark? That's because you don't suffer from it. Don't mock people who do.
You don't go to matinees you go to evening performances so it comes out and it's dark
but it's I think it's from the dark into the light.
It's a syndrome it's a real syndrome.
We've got the name in front of me. Look my Elves have been busily hacking away. It's called autosomal dominant compelling heliopthalmic outburst.
There you go
For short it's called Achoo syndrome.
We're still with lotteries. This is more astonishing. I don't I mean what a coincidence.
In 2001, guess who won the Zimbabwe banking corporation's jackpot?
It was Robert Mugabe!
What are the odds against that? I mean oh wow lucky man. Yeah lucky lucky lucky.
Anyway, less fortunate was Clarence 'inaction' Jackson, the name tells it all. He won, in 1995, 5.8 million on the
Connecticut lottery and failed to turn up to pick it up the collect by date passed and
uh they wouldn't pay out he tried to sue and he lost ,very sad. And there was a woman in 1980
called Maureen Wilcox who chose the correct winning numbers for both Massachusetts and
Rhode Island unfortunately she played the Massachusetts numbers in Rhode Island...
The odds against that are thirty trillion to one.
