The government today announced that it is changing its symbol for Parliament from a portcullis to a condom, because it more accurately reflects the government's political stance.
A condom allows for inflation, halts production, destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of dicks, and gives you a sense of security while you're actually being screwed!
Damn, it just doesn't get more accurate than that!
Majorly excellent. Oh, yes.
ReplyDeleteYou mean the US Capitol building is a condom?
ReplyDeleteI don't know, Strangelove. Are there any pricks inside?
ReplyDelete435 to be precise. We have even invented a new form, the female prick. Cf. Michelle Bachmann.

A "prickette."

ReplyDeleteIt's 535, not 435. You're forgetting the Senators.
No, no, no, no...yes, plus don't forget the infestation of the hundreds and hundreds of lobbyist pricks as well...
ReplyDeleteI believe I speak for all the Yanks here---or maybe just me---when I say, "portcullis"???
ReplyDeleteYes, JCF, a portcullis. Some of us Yanks are fans of medieval history and heraldry when we aren't busy lowering the tone of our friends' blogs. (A favorite pastime of mine, this latter.)
ReplyDelete"A portcullis (from the French "porte coulissante" or gliding door) is a latticed grille or gate made of wood, metal or a combination of the two." - Wikipedia
Actually, I knew what a portcullis is. Some of us studied medieval history, and I for my sins was one. I thought at the time the study was rather useless, but then I came to understand where and how the minds of English archbishops are formed. ;;sigh;;
