You Couldn't Make It Up!

[Caran]

A snippet in the Daily Mail this morning.
A reader was in North Staffs hospital cardiac ward. When the breakfast trolley came round he was told he couldn't have toast and marmalade. Why not?
The local firemen were on strike, the toaster had been taken out of commission on the orders of elf'n'safety.!
Where do they get these crazy notions from, my flabber has been suitably tasted.

Tasted?

Unlike the toast.

...and couldn't patients choke on the marmalade's pieces of peel?

Is it world euphemism day?
The site is full of them today.

It could have been a broken toaster...

[Caran]

Sorry typo gasted.
I think the general idea was the toaster could cause a fire.

its one of those things that sounds unbelievable but, sadly, is probably true today.

Perhaps I shouldn't have chuckled at that, but I did. :o)
