To Cap it All

(Oopsh: Employment oportunities for fools are limited.)

Police are warning fools in the Scammondsby area to hold onto their hats, after a series of headgear-robberies left capless more than twelve fools and a dunce.

Inspector Ketch Mangonel said: “There are a lot of stealers at this time of the year (Saturnalia), and fool’s caps, with their baubles and attractive particoloured design, are always a popular target. We’re not saying idiots shouldn’t have fun or stop committing daft acts - we just want them to be sensible. We urge fools to bear with us.”

But it seems unlikely that fools will heed this warning. In the words of fool spokesperson, Dorathy Weapon: “Whaaa? Bear with us?! Where? Where a bear?”

The alert applies not only to fools, but also dunces, jesters and pied-pipers.
