My daily appointment with what passes for a face is a chance to tell myself some serious home truths regarding my abject failure to measure up to expectations - responding to this utterly unfair and unjustified ticking-off only seems to make things a whole lot worse so I very rarely object but nod and slink away when I'm not looking.

Very disappointing, don't you think, today's word? One must use it, though. No backsliding permitted! Unpromising starters can offer a stimulating challenge to the acrostician.

Acme products always win, depending on the punter's pin - voting for the name on top elects the chump who'll be a flop - read the list as far as first to hire the cowboy that's the worst - if you'd like to laze today, select the alphabetic way - employ wild chance and start to pray!

OK for satires to fly from the low in rank to the high - from the high to the low each joke is a blow - no matter how funny don't flaunt that money!
