Hilarious Accident in Glastonbury

It is without any particular regret that I report the demise of 'Bishop' Bogus Smirk.

His common-law wife, Muriel Shrooms, Mu for short, a character well-known in the Glastonbury community, reports that after eating a huge psilocybin and 'herb' omelette she had prepared for him, he rushed to the window of their shared ground floor flat, and with a cry of "Shabbaddabbada", threw himself through the glass to the street below.

As the fall was a matter of only eighteen inches, no tragedy could have been foreseen. However, a passing steamroller swerved to avoid a sparrow in the road, skidded, and ran over the unfortunate man.

It may be of some consolation to him, wherever he is, that he was physically as widely spread on the surface of the road as he had hoped his church and his literary fame would be in the world beyond the Somerset town where he lived.

If the public feel so inclined, they may leave their condolences in the comment box.
