A Tale of Two Tonys‏

Times are hard for everybody – but particularly light entertainers. Have you heard about Tony? You know, the whimsical comedian who wrote ‘Round Ireland With a Fridge’ and was a regular on ‘Just a Minute’ for some time? Well, he is whimsical no more. He’s had a tough time of it since the recession hit, so much so that he’s become radicalised. Now he’s started his own right-wing pro-war political party. Scary! As you can imagine, his bookings have really dried up since his routines now consist of impassioned rants against the so-called Axis of Evil. To finance his party he’s had to start selling birds of prey, which he procures through an old friend of his – a world renowned skateboarder who happens to be named Tony too. He doesn’t even have a permit to sell the birds, so he just sets up an informal stall on the pavement and pressures people passing by into purchasing his black market avians. To summarise:

Hawk Hawks hawks Hawk’s hawks.
