(Last known images of Martin, captured by CIA spybots embedded, by chance, in his best friend’s retina.)Parents of accident-prone teenager Martin “Jolly” Jollinson have described compensation they received for their son’s demise as an “insult”.
Mister and Misses Jollinson were awarded Nepal last week by a government keen to put the ungainly youth’s misadventure safely behind them. Nepal, which is rich in mineral assets and blessed with almost boundless potential for tourism, was made over to the Jollinsons in a special sitting of Parliament.
But Martin’s parents described the Himalayan kingdom as a snub and an affront to the memory of their ham-fisted boy: “It’s not the money we’re interested in,” said Mrs Enigma Jollinson, “only its texture and buying power.”
The maladroit youngster, who was accidentally disembowelled while playing with friends in a hole, was not available for comment.
