I slept with your wife?

Go to the above site, or read below. It's a story where you're meant to be able to fill in the last line. I'm not punny enough, it seems. Anyone else?




Debating is a very popular activity in Great Britain. For the British, it is important to
be able to speak well and to speak convincingly. As a result there are many debating
clubs and societies in schools and universities to train people to debate well.
Each year there is a competition to find the country's best debater. One year the
finalists were Steven Swan from England and Magnus MacDonald from Scotland.
They were two very different characters, both in appearance and personality.
Steven Swan was a short and very fat man. He weighed over 200 kilos and he was
shaped like a ball. He was a very sociable man. Steven was always with friends and he
never stopped talking. He spent a great amount of his time in expensive London
restaurants debating with politicians and businessmen. They always paid the bills so
Stephen ate enormous amounts of food.

Magnus MacDonald, on the other hand, was almost the complete opposite. He was
tall and very, very thin. He looked like a pencil and he seemed to be just skin and
bones. Magnus lived in a small Scottish town so he was quite unknown. He was a
quiet man who spent most of his time reading books in the library. He never spoke
unless it was necessary. 'Never waste words' was one of his favourite sayings.
On the day of the final a large crowd waited anxiously to see and hear the two
finalists. They entered the debating room and stood looking at each other. This was
the first time that they had met. Magnus was silent. Steven slowly looked at Magnus
from head to toe and said,
"So you are Magnus. Looking at you, anybody would think that there was a famine
in Scotland."

The crowd laughed. Magnus waited until the laughter had stopped and replied coldly,

"Shut the fuck up, you fat cunt."

Or... "I have dysentery, you insensitive prick."

Either way, I think a vulgar name for human genitalia should be worked in somewhere.

Yeah, the answer is pretty obvious, after all.

In my defense, I was trying to think of something much more clever, possibly involving "swan song", or at least some actual word play.

Twat song? Tweven Twat?

No.

Looking at you, one could scarcely see England at all.

"Looking at you, they would think you were cause."
