Big trouble when the chips are down?

Oh Dear Lord, tell me this isn’t happening!
I just wanted to watch some tennis, so I called the boss on our busiest day of the year and said I was sick with projectile vomiting, impacted wisdom teeth, temporary insanity and a fever of 106…
Then I got to my seat, and who’s right in front of me? The fricking PRIME MINISTER!
I KNOW the news photographers are here. Please Lord, don’t let him do anything newsworthy!
Oh NO, he’s eating salt and vinegar potato chips! Cramming them down his cakehole like he’s going to the electric chair!
Wait! Maybe nobody will use the picture. I mean, who cares about a politician stuffing his face with greasy, high-sodium junk food? Nobody!
Crap, I just remembered that so-called humor blog everybody at the office reads. This is just the kind of photo that stupid Blog Guy putz would use…
Maybe if I just look down and cover my face…

Dr. Phil caught playing hooky! How’s that workin’ for ya?
good job, BG. Top journalism. Splendid. I hope the Pulitzer committee reads your blog. What am I thinking..of course they do!
I think the photos are reversed, BG. The guy has his head down because he knows the PM reacts badly to the the chips. In the top photo, it appears the chips are about to come back into play. Wonder if the projectile vomiting will get the chips across the net?
Jeez, I hope that’s not someone from his security detail.
Saaaaay, that looks like a Frito-Lays brand on that bag, but it says “…alkers”. Is someone pulling a fast one?
Sharp eyes, Dave. I believe they’re the British brand, Walkers, but I guess it could be connected to Frito…

Who knew the PM was in touch enough with the real world to even know what a packet of crisps is?
C’mon BG, that was a totally rhetorical question. Now Shra is going to zap us for sure. Guess it’ll be me riding the lightning in old Sparky, instead of the PM.
Relax, Dave. Read the fine print. Information about junk food is deemed a necessity, and does not constitute the sort of gratuitous learning we try to keep out of this blog.
Where might one find the fine print?
On a completely different subject Blog Guy: why have you stayed off the Weiner train? Too much low-hanging fruit?
Yes, lemon. he’s WAY too easy.
Thanks, Spin…
well, if Weiner desides to run for re-election, I’ve got his campaign song. Nope…not going the easy route with a Chuck Berry tune. Something more subtle by Jackson Browne

everytime I hear this song, I can’t help but laugh! It is a great tune.

Being that it is the Queen’s Club Championships the Queen is getting ready in the locker room to play the winner. We all know how the queen loves sports!

I think the guy behind the PM is his press secretary. Clearly he is trying to figure out how to put a positive spin on this junk food bingeing during the PM’s healthy image campaign.
I suggest he just blame Joe Biden, like the POTUS does when Michelle catches him out.
Yes BG, pray tell where the fine print is.. (holding the taser in her hands)
haha I love when a Tory wants to resemble labours
