Sun loos only cater for the big knobs

By Axegrinder axeblog

Weak-bladdered gentlemen Sun hacks at Wapping are starting to suspect management might be taking the piss because their sixth floor lavatory has been “closed for repairs” since the beginning of April.

For a while they could stroll down the corridor to use the loo outside the News of the World office until that too closed, forcing them to hop off on a hazardous five-minute crosslegged hike to the management floor every time they want to spend a penny.

One flushed old sub grumbled as he zipped up his trousers: “I don’t like using these lavvies, because they’re a bit too posh for the likes of us.

“Besides, it’s where the big knobs hang out ‒ and everyone knows they are full of shit.”
