This week's episode of BBC Radio 4's comedy programme 'I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue' included a round in which the panellists were invited to suggest "some obscure charities that hvae been less successful fundraisers".
The combined wit of Barry Cryer, Graeme Garden, Tim Brooke-Taylor and Miles Jupp produced the following:
-
Brown Nose Day
-
The National Truss – "needs your support", added Cryer.
-
Kelp for Heroes
-
The Findus Donkey Sanctuary
-
Children in Tweed
-
Shave the Children
-
Colonic Relief
-
The Wake a Fish Foundation
-
The Salivation Army
- Guide Dogs for the Blonde
So, that's what some of the finest UK comedians produced. Can you do better? Suggestions below please.
