The Turkey (or Nut Roast) meal went down a storm, the Turkey butties after seven, also, but not so much the Nut Roast butties.  The Boxing Day curry was hailed an amazing meal, even from the Nut Roast corner.


But on awakening on DAB (Day after Boxing) Day, the population shunned breakfast, nibbled on a mince pie and sipped orange juice all day.  Same for the next day, with fridge doors being opened, a mountain of fayre stuffed in Tupperware boxes reviewed and the door being closed silently.


Everybody is stuffed.


It is estimated that supermarkets really don't need to open for several days after Christmas Day as virtually nobody can face any food.  A consortium that represents all the popular supermarkets as well as ASDA and Tesco stated, 'we're quite relaxed about the situation.  Natural bodily functions will rebalance the buying population and on New Year's Eve they'll descend on us, spending 230% of their monthly disposable income on food and booze.  Mostly booze, to be fair, and most of the food will end up in the food waste bins.


'Or as pavement pizzas which includes the booze,' the consortium stated.  'Happy New Year'.



Harry Redmond (36) insisted that January would be the smelliest of all months, with not a drop touching lips or any other part of his body. His aim is to detox all the harmful soap particles from his body.


'I just feel healthier wrapped in an extra layer of dirt. And I tend to find I get alot more space to myself, particularly downwind.


'No one speaks about the dangers of bathing in the winter months. 50% of hospital admissions are down to people slipping on the soap.'


Asked he minded the smell, Harry replied: 'Not at all, I'm too drunk to notice.'
