Sometimes I really, really, REALLY wish we lived in Britain:
Don’t throw away leftovers, warn ‘food police’
Householders are to be visited by officials offering advice on cooking with leftovers, in a Government initiative to reduce the amount of food that gets thrown away.
Home cooks will also be told what size portions to prepare, taught to understand “best before” dates and urged to make more use of their freezers.
The door-to-door campaign, which starts tomorrow, will be funded by the Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP), a Government agency charged with reducing household waste.
Oh, the sheer number of cockpunches that could be delivered in such a circumstance! It makes one almost dizzy with anticipation! Imagine, if you will…
*bing bong*
Hello, I’m from the Committee for Getting in All Up in Your Business, and I’m here to…
*COCKPUNCH*
That there is just full of WIN.
I’d tell them that the last .gov moron to ring my doorbell with advice on how to run my life got his liver eaten with some fava beans and a nice chianti.

Show them how well you recycle human flesh with a cheese grater.
“cockpunch” is a perfectly fine Irish response to the feckin’ Garda.

We will reduce waste by hiring a government official to go to each home in Britain. In order to pay the annual $60,000 USD in salary and benefits, the program will have to cause Britons to eat 12,000 leftover meals apiece.
Waste?

I’d have thought that in order to cockpunch someone, they’d have to actually HAVE a cock…but then, I guess actually BEING cocks makes them much easier targets.
