Serves him right...

"unless he was able to produce biometric passports for the shifty-looking beasts of burden."

and that folks is how you successfully add an IT angle to an otherwise daft story

Tim

i thought the story was about Nicolas Sarkozy going on a whistestop tour of northern europe with Gordon Brown and Boris Johnson.

Imagine my surprise when it was about donkeys!

Nick

Please take note.

A touch of humanity really is inspiring. The border official should be commended for merit.

Alan Moore rides again 

Wasn't Abdelaziz a 2000AD Future Shocks character- The Man with Two Brains??? As usual some other idiot has got hold of another excellent Alan Moore idea and rewritten it- This time as The Man with Two Asses.

Virgina ? 

Wot's that when it's at home ?

I thought it was regarding someone with two exits and four posterior cheeks.

Bloody French donkeys coming over here to take the jobs of ours on the beach. Just bloody swim ashore and set up shop. This is what you get with the EU - French donkeys invading our shores - they couldn't do it before when Nelson gave them a good spanking, now they are sneaking in via our seaside resorts.

One minute it's donkeys - the next there's no more burgers just waffles and odd pancakes. Send 'em back with a french loaf up their asses.

Tanuki

Mmmmm! Donkey! 

Go

Shame he wasn't trying to import his two faux-horses into France. They'd have eaten them.

Come to think of it, what's the best wine to serve with donkey? I'm thinking something like a young Shiraz.

I'll get my humane killer....

@Fred 

No, it just means Nanny, as in the nice lady who looks after your screaming pre-school sprogs while you make a donkey of yourself posting asinine comments to Reg articles instead of working.

Cameron Douglas

Oh dear

Cos as soon as they would have crossed the Channel, both donkeys probably would have caught Foot and Mouth disease or something else as likely and probably drop dead within a week

If he had shared the dingy with the drunk bloke they could have ensured that both made it across and could have avoided customs totally.

The IT Angle 

Paris Hilton

Well it mentions "ass" several times. That's good enough for me. :-)

Paris, because even though as far as I know she is only in possession of a single ass well, just because!

pctechxp

thought it might have been a body shock type story 

as I read it initially as arses :)

TeeCee

I can't believe nobody's noticed.....

A French itinerant wandering round Europe with two Donkeys?

That'll be two asses and a bum then.

cmtbear

Coat

if you have to ass't for the IT angle, it would take two long to explain.

Steve Smith

No Dr. Mephisto angle, then. 

Unhappy

How utterly disappointing.

Jeffrey Nonken

And now for something completely different...

"Didn't we just do this sketch?"

"I thought we were doing the continental version."
