As a mass is accelerating upwards a corresponding force presses
downwards. The rear suspension is getting old, like the
backfiring engine, and collapses under the strain. The van
skids off the road and breaks open releasing the budgies.

The police are unable to prosecute for being overloaded as
the van is now lighter and magistrates want a slip from the
weighbridge before handing out fines and points.

I should have known that, but it was late and I'd had a couple of sherries
to settle me after watching "Creep".

One labour diver, one conservative diver go diving as a buddy pair.
They hit it off and have sex under water. On finding out that
the labour diver was gay the conservative diver shoots said
labour diver.
