Historical Find in Bunker
Harry R. M. Pitts
International Correspondant
Major
Toady
An excavation in Berlin,
Germany, unveiled a secret
room inside
Hitler’s Bunker, decorated
with scores of
motivational
posters.
“The posters range in size
and quantity,” said Dr. Robert Herzog from the University of Berlin, “from the
poster of an eagle soaring
over a mountain range with
the words ‘Dream big’ at the
bottom, to the kitten dangling from a tree branch beneath the phrase ‘Hang in
there, baby.’”
Speculation abounds as
to what purpose the room
held for the former dictator.
“We believe that Hitler used
this room as a way to overcome the hardships of being
a mass-murdering psychopath,” said Bletchley historian Major Toady of the
room covered in posters of
encouraging mantras and
ham-fisted stock photography. “It was his escape-his
fortress of solitude.”
Doctoral candidate Leslie
Metz stitched together a portrait of the fall of the Third
Reich. “It’s easy to picture
the Furor here, crestfallen,
during the final days of the
war,” said Metz, “with him
looking up and seeing the
word ‘Perseverance,’ under
a photo of a vast ocean, and
mustering up the courage to
blow the back of his skull out
for his terrible crimes.”
A number of crude drawings found in a box marked
“Mein sketches” revealed
that Adolf had even tried to
design his own posters. One
depicted a baby seal with the
word “Aryan” scrawled on
the bottom and then crossed
out, as if to suggest that a
different phrase would lend
itself better to the inspiring
photo.
The dig culminated with the
discovery of Hitler’s wastebasket, containing several
discarded posters. “It appears [Hitler] had no interest in posters with themes
that imply accountability,
diversity, or tolerance,” remarked world-renowned
anthropologist Dr. Amanda
Kelley. “With the benefit of
hindsight it’s shocking to see
how insecure the tyrant was
in his own leadership...Well,
no, actually that explains a
lot.”

“We apologise for this error in captioning our

it’s a photograph from space of a place on our
planet not designed for human habitation.”
“Sure, oxygen levels might be OK – when the
water treatment works aren’t in full swing – and
the temperature might be considered acceptable
by some, but it’s truly one of the most desolate
places on Earth.”
“There’s a reason David Attenborough hasn’t
made a documentary called ‘Park’ – no-one
would want to live there for a year to film it.”
NASA officials claimed that although the
photo was taken by mistake, there is plenty they
can learn from the harsh surroundings of Buckinghamshire’s least welcoming lands.
“We hope to one day explore distant planets,
untouched by civilisation, perhaps with inhabitants that don’t understand us and want to do us
harm – what better way to prepare than a field
trip to Bletchley?”
“What started as a mistake might one day be
essential in our journey to the stars.”
Wartime Discovery

A World War II Japanese TwoMan Sub Found In Bletchley
Park lake
A member of the Bletchley Archaeological & Historical Society has just
announced an unbelievable announcement.
Speaking before the monthly meeting
of the BAHS, Executive Director Mervin
W. Kiddlefuddle, 61, stated that a couple
of scuba divers from Scubaducks, Aylesbury, have told him about the discovery
of a Japanese two-man submarine from
World War II
The two scuba divers identified as
Dante Kaminski and Fletcher Ortega
told The Bugle that they were searching
for old discarded silver when they came
upon the sub which was submerged in
29 feet of water and totally buried in the
lake mud except for the periscope.
Kaminski stated that he and Ortega
knew right away that it was a Japanese
sub because of the Japanese lettering
on the periscope which spelled out the
words Made in Japan.
Meanwhile Major Toady has gotten
into the fray. He has made it abundantly

“He then asked us if anyone wanted a hug because his PA had been teaching him different
techniques. He went as far as to rub my shoulder in an overly familiar ‘pally’ way but I just felt
very uncomfortable. Once we realised that the
source of this ice-cold temperature was the hole
in Sanders chest it made a lot more sense to us.”
Scientist Albert Whinestein, who led the team
of experts, said: “When the results first came up
as Bletchley, UK, we were flabbergasted.”

PARK TO REPLACE STAFF WITH DOCILE CLONES
Museum giant Bletchley Park is to
scan faces as part of a plan to murder
Guides and replace them with clones.
These new findings beat the previously declared coldest place on Earth, at the heart of
Antarctica, by over three degrees. The team of
scientists were initially shocked at the satellite’s
findings and sent a small team of experts into
the heart of Buckinghamshire to investigate and
locate the precise spot delivering such abnormally cold readings.
February 2014
The investigative team went on to explain
such extreme temperatures are difficult for
non-scientific people to understand.
They explained, “A temperature this low is
very hard for people with an ounce of sympathy,
humility, kindness or human warmth to contemplate.”
“However, looking at his track record of public
policy and obscene cuts to exhibits, it’s really not
that surprising.”
Logan said: “It was a vast basement full
of transparent cylinders, each containing
what appeared to be a human.
“As I watched in horror, one of the pods
opened and out stepped the goo-coated
clone of a woman who comes in to guide
twice a week.
“Lab-coated Park scientists wiped the
slime off her and she said “Must Guide” in
a weird monotone before marching out.”
A Park spokesman confirmed: “We will
photograph your face and body in our staff
and Volunteers room, use this information
to make a clone using sheep DNA and then
when it’s ready you die in your sleep and it
replaces you.
“There’s no point trying to hide it as noone can stop us.
“We were fed up with the general staff
being unable to follow our simple rules and
techniques without giving the full customer
experience ’. How fucking hard can it be?
“Hence we needed to make a slightly
more bovine version of the staff.”
Mother-of-two Nikki Hollis said: “Bletchley Park is good. Home of the code breakers. Birthplace of modern computing.”.
Fury over Double
Car Park Theft
Loverly Rita
Meter Maid
It has been reported that not
one but two car parks have
been stolen from Bletchley
Park.
Firstly, the mansion car park,
complete with white lines and several disabled spaces just disappeared overnight and secondly, the
tennis court car park complete with
railings was also then stolen some
days later.
The mansion car park was essential for tenants who needed to be
near their offices. It was also important for disabled visitors to be
able to visit the mansion without the
trauma of a long walk from other
car parks. In an interview with one
of the operations managers he was
quoted as saying
‘Sod the visitors, they can go elsewhere.’
Scotland Yard said that a tennis
court would be difficult to ‘fence’.
They have asked that if anyone who
thinks they have information that
may help with their enquiries, to

Beginner’s
Guide to
German
To facilitate a
better visitor experience, the Park
management have
put into place a
mandetory German class for all
volunteers and
staff.
Nikki Maypole German is a
Education Editor guage spoken
lanby
over 80 million people. There have been many great people
throughout history who have spoken it.
Learning German can allow our visitors
to understand anyone from Wankel to Seimens, from Kahn to Kant. From Bach to the
Fuhrer.
It is an elegant but guttural language,
which is intended to be shouted angrily in
a shrill voice.
One important thing to remember is that
all the verbs come at the end of a sentence,
just like Yoda. For example, if you wanted
to say “This sauerkraut has not been prepared efficiently”, you would actually say
“This sauerkraut efficiently has not been
prepared”.
Or in German: DIESE SAUERKRAUT
EFFIZIENT NICHT BEREIT!!
Shout it yourself and see how it sounds.
We are now ready to begin the lesson. The
possessive in German is given by MEIN,
meaning “my”. The most common sentence
in the whole language uses this.
MEIN HANDTUCH DEUTLICH ICH
HIER ERSTE ZEIGT WAR!
Or in English: my towel clearly indicates
that I was here first.
Please note that the word WAR at the end
of the sentence doesn’t actually mean “war”
in English. It means “was” and is the past
tense of IST.
The word for war is KRIEG, as in the following example:
ICH DIE DEN KRIEG ÜBER WEIß
NICHT SPRECHEN
I hope you are remembering to shout it
out loud. Translation: I don’t know which
war you are talking about. That last example
ontains the letter ß, which is pronounced
like a ‘b’ but pronounced from the back of
the throat like a violent cough. Try this now.
Finally, we come to questions. Questions
are unique in German because the verbs at
the end of the sentence must be shouted
twice. The second shout should be significantly louder than the first. Try this one:
SIE DER NEUE HASSELHOFF RAP-ALBUM HABEN GEHÖRT? HABEN GEHÖRT!!!
By now you should be able to translate it
by yourself, so I will leave out the English.
Congratulations! You can now speak fluent German and are now fully qualified to
give our visitors a world class experience.
Please be warned though, as speaking
German can lead to mindless aggression,
bad taste and a fondness for facial hair.
AUF WEIDERSEHEN!!!

Shocking news as hut
prices are on the rise
Bombardier Brownose
Birmingham Post Office
It was confirmed this week that Hut
prices are continuing their unstoppable rise, as estate agent Shackleton’s announced that the price of a
one roomed garden Hut had risen by
150% in the last year. A spokesman
for the company said that demand
was massively exceeding supply.
The rise in prices has been welcomed by
Hut owners but is not good news for everyone. First time buyer Wong Price and his
wife Toohai have been looking for a cheap
Hut for their garden, but were shocked to
discover that it would cost more than their
house was worth. They are now looking to
see if they can rent one instead.
Garden property analyst Yardley Hutterwood said that the problem lay in the housing market. “Until recently, Huts were only
used by people to store their useless crap,
or for husbands to hide their porn stash.
But now they have Hut that old Hutdy
image, we are increasingly seeing that people are choosing to buy a Hut to live in, or
as a long-term investment. This has pushed
up the prices so much that casual Hut users
are no longer able to afford one.” As Huts
become more popular as a place to live,

A World War II Hut can now cost more than a council estate terraced house
there has been a great demand for luxury
versions too. These can contain unexpected
features such as swimming pools, attics and
even four-poster beds. Many owners try to
outdo each other in how luxurious they can
make theirs, inspired by property shows
such as “Load Your Hut”.
There has also been an increase in the
number of people who were offering a “two
for the price of one” Hut - essentially by
cutting it in two and renting both halves
separately. Although this increases the
amount of Huts available for rental, it has
led to numerous court cases due to people
complaining about their half-Hut being too
small. Lawyer Yulgeta Waiwethit famously
defended a Hut owner from a litigant by
saying that although the property was legally too small to house a chicken, there
were no laws defining minimum property
sizes for human habitation.
Some enterprising would-be Hut owners
have had to resort to building their own
Huts, but even they have found that the cost
is not as cheap as expected. Hutterwood
said that there were “Hutloads

ALL the reviews on TripAdvisor have
been written by a single socially-isolated misfit.
41-year-old loner Roy Hobbs has admitted
writing all the reviews ever posted on the consumer website.
He said: “I have a number of hobbies, including collecting Babylon 5 action figures
and spying on my neighbours. But my best

“I have never been to a restaurant or stayed
in a hotel so it is nice to play out all the potential scenarios in my head.
“For example, what if the mattresses were
a bit lumpy, or there were some Belgian students having a loud party in the bar until
three in the morning? I would be cross.
“On the other hand, it might be nice with
lovely views and free mints.”
Hobbs added: “I do a technical thing to
make it look like I’m using a different computer every time. Also I vary the spelling from
poor to abysmal.”
Hobbs’s computer hard drive contains over
260,000 made-up reviews varying in tone
from intensely passive-aggressive to nauseatingly fawning.
Hobbs said: “I suppose I am quite lonely,
getting people to choose restaurants based
on my writing is the closest I get to human
interaction.”
Web analyst Emma Bradford said: “He’s
telling the truth. After all, what normal person would even consider writing a review on

much as with the current system.”
Ms Hayes, a hairdresser from Lowestoft,
said: “I worry this means I will no longer be
able to enjoy salty snacks, such as peanuts,
without shrivelling up and dying.
“However I understand that most snails
are hermaphrodites and I do like the idea
of being able to copulate with myself.”
Trustee William Scarlett said: “Species is
a pretty subjective thing, and to be honest
‘slow-moving with a slimy sheen’ seems to
describe most of the people one sees in the

“If all of our Voluntarty staff are ostensibly gastropods, the Court of Human Rights

Frederick Howl supports the policy:

A team of the world’s best physicists have
come up with a noise 100 times worse than

Dear Dottery
I’m going prematurely bald and I am
paranoid that women won’t be able to
see beyond my massive shiny noggin,
glinting in the sunshine. Do you think
anyone will notice if I use a sharpie to
colour it in? How does Wayne Rooney
do it?
F. Buckinghamshire
nDOTTERY SAYS: A school visitor from Y6
has a brother who knows the best friend
of a lady who once saw Coleen Rooney
on the tube, and he told us that apparently the reason Wayne Rooney was
banned for two matches is because he
was caught illegally harvesting the hair
of corpses in order to fashion his new
barnet.
Apparently he started out using belly
button fluff borrowed from the navels of
sex workers, but it just kept sliding off his
bonce and making him look daft in Liverpool nightclubs, so he soon escalated
to grave robbery. One dark night, when
Kai was in bed and Coleen was tanning
her earlobes, Wayne dressed in a black
football strip and sneaked into the cemetary. By the light of the moon he used a
pair of nail scissors to plunder the armpit hair of thirty-seven cadavers, pausing
only to vomit into his football boots. But
it was all worth it, when he could look in
a mirror with pride again and see a man
with bizarre fluffy corpse-hair grinning
back. Unfortunately, Wayne failed to
seek the permission of the Head of FIFA
in advance and therefore he was immediately branded a bad sport and told he
was banned from playing until he had
made an even more magnificent toupee
for Sepp Blatter.
Dear Dottery
One of my so-called ‘friends’ has apparently been slagging me off on Twitter
and I’m not willing to let him get away
with it. The person in question is always
nice as pie when we’re face-to-face but as
soon as he’s online he’s tweeting about
how I don’t know what day of the week
it is. Can you believe his cheek? To make
matters worse, this place only has one
computer which he’s always hogging so
I can never get online to check what he’s
been saying about me. I’ve asked one of
my staff here if I can get access to a laptop but they just smile at me and tell me
to take my medication. How can I stop
this two-faced elderly cyberbitch before
my reputation is ruined forever?

your opponent’s jumper and swing
them round several times to disorientate them, following up with a swift and
decisive push to the middle of the back,

winding them and sending them flying on to the concrete where they’ll
hopefully get a nasty graze to the hands
and knees. By this point, you’ll need to
make a quick exit, because the woman
from education will have spotted the
fracas, spilled her coffee down her
blouse and be wading angrily through
the crowd towards you. The nearest
hiding place is behind the portacabins where Stacey Diddle takes boys to
show them her pants. With any luck the
teacher will collar someone else or get
distracted by a fox turd on the croquet
lawn and you’ll be free to fight another
day.
Dear Dottery
I’ve been single for a few years now, and
as I’m 35, it’s only a matter of time before
my lady garden closes to the public for
good and my ovaries turn to dust and are
blow away on the wind. So on the advice
of my complacent married friends,
I have reluctantly decided to begin
internet dating in the hope of finding a
suitable husband. Aside from the usual
fears about ending up dismembered in a
wheelie bin, I’m worried that it might all
go wrong and everyone I meet up with
will turn out to be a balding loser. Can
you give me any advice on how to avoid
this?

nDOTTERY SAYS: Apparently, in the olden
days, there was no such thing as the Internet. In fact, there were no computers
or mobile phones or X-Box 360s either.
I know! Can you even begin to imagine how pointless life must have been
back in the 1980s when the only sources
of entertainment were Australian
soap-operas, the Radio 1 Sunday chart
countdown and Buckaroo? No wonder people went on strike all the time. I
have no idea how people ever managed
to make friends or have a relationship
back then – forget about Facebook, texts
and email – the only viable channels of
communication available to them were
photocopiers and primitive TV remote
controls. So while you’re getting all
whiney about having to resort to Internet dating, just be grateful that you
have that opportunity at all, unlike our
poor mummies and daddies who have
witnessed first hand what it’s like to use
a fountain pen, and whose only hope of
ever finding love was by donning flammable turquoise leisurewear, drinking
half a bottle of Mirage and doing The
Lambada in some smelly nightclub in
Hull.

classroom. He will be expected to command their respect by the
end of his first term, eventually developing in them a life-enhancing
love of classic WWII battles such as Matapan, Operation Cerberus
and The Battle of the Atlantic by the end of the second.
