ANY wannabe comedians out there should get their thinking caps on for Red Nose Day.
Holiday Autos is offering to donate ú10 to Comic Relief for every joke it receives from Travel Weekly readers.
The first 50 readers to send them in will receive a squeaky red nose.
Jokes should be short, sharp and, of course, clean.
Entering into the spirit of the day, Backchat surveyed the Travel Weekly office for a few jokes. “How do you get two whales in a mini? Drive straight down the M4!” was the best the hacks could come up with, so get cracking, we are sure you can do better.
Travel Weekly readers who can not come up with clean gags – and we know there will be a few of you – can send in a donation instead.
Cheques should be made payable to Comic Relief Gunge ’99 and sent to Holiday Autos c/o The Marketing Department.
As an incentive to readers, Holiday Autos has agreed to let one of its representatives get ‘gunged’ live on TV on the night of Comic Relief (March 12) if it raises more than ú1,000.
Other plans by Holiday Autos include forcing all sales representatives to wear a red nose on March 12.
Any sales reps found without the obligatory nose apparel will be fined ú1 on the spot.
The company is also holding a mufti day, where employees will have to pay ú1 to dress down.
