Exes confident that hooking up will be harmless fun

A MAN and woman who used to be together are confident that hooking up will not go wrong in any way.

Former partners Tom Booker and Kelly Howard are positive that sleeping together for old times’ sake will simply leave them both sexually satisfied and not in a pit of emotional confusion and bitter regret.

Booker said: “Why shouldn’t we hook up? We’re both single and we’re both over each other. Conditions are perfect for one last shag.

“I know what Kelly likes. She knows what I’m into. That means it’ll be better than fumbling around with a new person. Unless it dredges up old emotions that leave us feeling troubled and sad. But what are the chances of that?”

Howard said: “Hook-ups with exes are a great idea. It definitely won’t open a floodgate of poignant memories that contrast cruelly with my current loneliness and series of ill-advised relationships with horrible men.

“I imagine it’ll be like slipping on a comfy old pair of jeans. If anything it’ll strengthen our new friendship. I can’t see it being awkward talking about mundane crap like how my sister is when you’ve just passionately f**ked.”

Immediately after the successful hook-up, both partners happily got dressed in silence and went their separate ways while cheerfully holding back tears.

Sunday NFL games compulsory: The US-UK trade deal in full

A US-UK trade deal means all British citizens must wear MAGA hats, have opinions on LeBron James and shoot paint cans in swamps. Alongside these conditions:

You must watch the NFL

Football – as it will henceforward be termed, the other thing will be soccer – is compulsory. Every Sunday must revolve around the big game. You must choose a team from the Pittsburgh Steelers, the New Orleans Dodgems, the Miami Manatees or the Grand Rapids F**kpigs, and continue to support them even if they move 5,400 miles away for money.

Grits with every meal

Grits, whether hominy or otherwise, are to be served for every meal. Side dishes can include shit-on-a-shingle, aerosol cheese, okra, cornbread, corn chowder, and crab cakes. All meals must conclude by saying: ‘Mh-mhm! Now that’s cookin’!’

Everybody Loves Raymond to be moved to prime-time slot

No longer only seen by business travellers when they wake up at 7am in their miserable, overheated hotels, this third-tier sitcom will now be on nightly and you will know and love the characters. Continued citizenship will depend on a weekly quiz.

Guns

It’s time for guns. Guns for hunters, guns for protection, guns for the sport of shooting, guns for crime, guns for adults, guns for children, guns for fun. Life expectancy will be shorter. However, Coronation Street and EastEnders will be 250 per cent more exciting.

The naming of children

What is most precious to you must be given up. Your child, the whole world to you, must be given a name of the magnitude of Scooter, Bentley, Blair, Kamie or Peyton. Every time you say ‘I love you, Brandin,’ it will hurt.

Trust in Trump

Most humiliatingly of all, the entire nation must follow our prime minister’s example and keep up a shameful pretence that president Trump is a great leader, economic visionary and a tough, manly hero. Even behind closed doors. Even when staring into the bathroom mirror at 3am, you will love Trump.
