Porters at the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital are being stripped of their badges after relatives complained that porters’ red identity badges bearing the logo of the hygiene services company were misleading and insensitive. Mike Tomlinson, Chairman of The Norwich Community Health Council said ‘We have had complaints, it’s not very nice either if you’re laid in a ward waiting to be taken to have an x-ray or a serious operation and somebody comes along wearing a badge saying Rent-a-Kill’.

In North America two men and a black labrador headed off in their brand new Jeep Grand Cherokee to christen the motor with a little duck hunting. Finding all the lakes were frozen solid they drove out onto the ice and decided to make a water hole to attract their prey. Spurning things like picks and drills, they settled on dynamite as a tool, but they knew it wouldn’t be too clever to plant it and run, slipping on the ice would be all too likely. So they simply lit the 40 second fuse and lobbed it as far as they could.
Unfortunately their duck fetching retriever thought the action had already started. It took off after the dynamite, grabbed it, and ran straight back towards them. The two men shouted and screamed until fearing imminent death one of them let fly with his shotgun. But buckshot won’t stop a labrador on a mission and the injured creature merely ran to take cover right under the brand new Land Rover Seconds later the dog, dynamite and $30,000+ Cherokee took a one way trip to the bottom of the lake. When the owner approached his insurance company he was informed that sinking the vehicle by illegal use of explosives was not covered by his policy.
