The Idiomatic Phrase You Thought You'd Thought Of But We Got There First
- baton putrescence
The inaugral North Staffordshire All-Comers baton twirling contest was in disarray yesterday due to an outbreak of baton putrescence. Many girls (and one or two mummy's boys) were in tears as batons began to show the first signs of this debilitating disease: initial coughs and splutters followed bya limpness not dissimilar to 3 day old asparagus before eventually disappearing into thin air.
No-one knows the cause of the epidemic - which is the baton equivalent of bird flu - but scientists believe it could be related to a recent outbreak of Robbie Williams in the Kidsgrove area.
