Recently an employee at Rebecca’s work bought a bankrupt Ugandan publishing company on Ebay. I think that this would be a truly fantastic thing to own, as it would act as the ultimate conversational aid. For example…
“Hi, nice to meet you. So, what do you do?”
“I own a bankrupt Ugandan publishing company.”
“Have you finished that report yet?”
“Sorry, I’ve been busy. I own a bankrupt Ugandan publishing company you know.”
“Sir, would you care to explain why you were doing 120 in a school zone?”
“I own a bankrupt Ugandan publishing company officer!”
“How does the defendant plead?”
“Your Honour, I own a bankrupt Ugandan publishing company!”
“I made $10,000 on the stock market last week!”
“Well I own a bankrupt Ugandan publishing company!”
It’s the non-sequitur of a thousand and one uses!
