question from Babooshka

Why are men so fascinated with lesbians, and lesbian porn?
Lesbians have within them all that is pure and true, untainted humanity straight from the bosom of the goddess Tracy. All those who seek them out, clothed or nay, seek understanding of what it is to exist - in its rawest form.

As for pornography, I’m fairly sure most men would rather be watching Ready Steady Cook, or perhaps Dad’s Army. Short in the girl on girl department, but swarthy and manly all the same.

question from sam parkins

philip, carpet makes my feet melt in an ice like fashion. what is the cure for this choripodimeltyfootsy problem
You clearly suffered a terrible childhood soldering iron trauma. Possibly at school or in the sweat shop your uncle Jed runs, just outside of Diss.

Making dangerous toys for kneeless orphans is not a healthy thing for anyone. To overcome this you must, must, must seek professional help - A carpenter or architect would do, or perhaps a Major or Colonel in the RAF.

question from Andrew Wilkinson

Is it better to conceal a dead body under a pile of mashed potato in my back garden or should hide it in a suit of armour at my local museum?
How big a pile of potato? Without these small yet vital nuggetts of information, it is impossible to come up with an accurate and well proportioned suggestion.

If there’s enough mash to cover the body completely, then I’d go for that. It’s well known in criminal circles that the rozzers will fail to look into the crushed starch, and any goo or stench which may emanate from the decomposing cadaver will be fully conceiled.

A suit of armour, on the other hand, is mostly made out of transparent papier-mache and amplifes the odour with its odour amplification properties.

question from Nicky Cary

When entering a sausage factory, why do i feel my guide dog is at risk. it has already lost two legs a tail and an eye on my regular trips to the walls sausage factory. please help !!
Your dog’s been working as an understudy for Eddie Izzard, hasn’t it? For this reason perhaps only, you should leave him be. It’s a well known fact around spa towns that comedy transvestite + food production plant + canine standby = limb loss for all concerned.

You do seem concerned about your mutt’s well-being, so I’d be wary of getting a head chopped off by a wayward lawnmower.

question from ‘Two Spoons’ Dixon

Dear Philip my hair has fallen from my head and my eyes replaced by balls of lead, i’m not quite sure why i’m not dead? discuss!
Many people over the age of reason have uttered the phrase “you are what you eat”. This has some truth, but the eyes follow a different code of wisdom.

Your eyes are what you smell.

Every time you sleep, your eyes are reformed from the scents around you during the previous day. This is one reason I avoid being around yoghurt, as one day my face was covered in melting spores. Far better to have lead, which not only smells wonderfully akin to almonds, but it stops the damn things dropping down your cheeks during audiences with monarchies.

As for your hair, it’s most likely being pushed out by the clockwork models of Ant and Dec. Some pot pourri should help you out there.

question from stacy

if something is going faster than the speed of light, does the speed of light ever get jealous? i’ve noticed it gets a little upset and huffy when someone brings up the notion.
I should say so! I still have scars on my knees from that time I ran for the bus at mach 5. But this is as nothing to its fury when quantum physics are discussed. Just the suggestion of black holes, worm holes and key holes drives it into a insane rampage, which can last several months.

Avoid.

question from jim of applejuice

I am now happy, knowing the answers! My latest question relates to a certain minardi f1 team. The question is this. Why to they bother, when they can’t even write a decent gearbox program! How difficult can it be, eh, eh ,eh!
All Minardi need to make them competitive against the likes of BAR and Prost is a couple of top class drivers. I would suggest Damon Hill and Michael Andretti.

The gearbox issue is one that has plagued both programmers and beekeepers for decades. Here was my attempt, for the highly successful Footwork team, written at the time in Javascript. This example shows changing to a higher gear.

if (accelerator == “on” && revs > 17000 &&gear

question from Liam Stewart

Philip, how does one look so devastatingly cool that they can easily get into their local branch of the fashion shop known as ‘The Post Office’ without getting queer looks and jeers???
The Post Office, a joint venture by Ronnie Biggs and the late Richard Branson, is slowly being turned from a high class boutique into a seedy stamp zone, filled with old women hungry for envelopes, green shield stamps and road tax exemption forms.

This new culture of crimpled skin and stale eyes gives rise to name calling and pointing at us fashion renegades by the dying. But stand true. Let not their pokes and wretched lies cause you to flinch in your task of procuring a nice new frock and natty accessories.

question from Fernando Santos

Phillip? how does one clean one’s lavatory armed only with a hamster and some frozen corn on the cob???
You’ll find ask phillip around the corner, next to the kebab shop. He knows all about cleaning excrement off walls and getting blood out of hair. Rumour has it he was involved in no small way in both the Suiz crisis and Jeremy Paxman.
