The chairman said – for the umpteenth time, ‘and here’s the cuck’.
The clock ticked off the minute.
Both contestants, a man and a woman, reported 9 letter words.
The woman said ‘RESECTION’.
The man said – ‘I never thought I would say this – I’ve got ERECTIONS’.
The ‘corner’ reported no ERECTIONS and it wasn’t put up on the board.
The programme’s editor did not have to resign.
