My good friends Martin and Jessica Formaldehyde mentioned to me the other day that they had a real suntrap in their back garden. Being the curious type I went over to visit them today to check it out. I have to say I was most horrified to discover a huge iron cage in their back garden imprisoning the sun.
'But why have you caught the sun?' I asked.
'It's vermin,' Martin replied 'kills our chickens if it gets too hot.'
'You haven't got any chickens' I countered.
'Hypothetical chickens we have.'
'But think of all the good the sun does – growing vegetables, suntans, ice cream sales?'
Jessica turned to Martin, 'I suppose we have only got hypothetical chickens. Shall we let it go Martin?'
'Maybe he's right – go and get the key Jessica. Anyway, have we ever told you about the moonshine we keep in the cellar?'
