An out of work actor has suggested he would make an excellent “fat stomach” to be shown on the BBC News whenever they cover a story about obesity.


Colin Sandwich, who says his corpulence has prevented him having the acting career he might have, feels he would be ideal for this role.


”I was never gonna be Mr Darcy, I know that,” said Sandwich today. “I mean, who’d pay to see this wadin’ out of a lake in a clingy wet shirt? I wouldn’t wanna see it meself.


”But illustratin’ risin’ rates of diabetes, the cost to the NHS of weight loss drugs, or whatever? I’m there. Show me the doughnuts.


”And frankly issa disgrace the way the BBC just film random fat people in a shoppin’ centre. Thass takin’ work away from trained professionals, that is. No wonder I can’t make a livin’.”


However his wife Jeanette Sandwich pleaded with the BBC not to hire him for this, saying his only motivation is to be able to claim junk food as a business expense. 


“Believe it or not, I cook him healthy meals all the time. Which he eats, and then goes and has a McDonalds afterwards. It’s only gonna get worse if the junk food’s basically free.”

An elderly man suspected of suffering from dementia and anal leakage, was seen tending the chip fryer in a MacDonalds branch. A spokesbeing for MacDonalds acknowledged they are embarrassed by the incident and said they are investigating how the man managed to bypass their strict security rules.


“'t isn’t just the risk this dickhead posed to our customers, there would have been hell to pay if he had fallen into the deep fat fryer. You’ve no idea what it costs these day to run one of them, or whether an untrained idiot was working in the system and putting too much MSG on the fries.


'We can cope with migrant workers falling into the chip fryers, because we can pass them off as chicken nuggets, but this guy had posh shoes on, so we know someone might come looking for him.


'We have to run a tight ship in the fast food business; and every cent counts. We can’t have daft old fools causing us grief with our shareholders over the profit margins; and goodness knows how many customers he will have scared away.'
