THE SAD STORY OF THE NUMPTIES:


As a Martian, it is very difficult to explain the tragedy of the sad little folk known as the Numpties but let me try.

First a bit of background. Sometime ago, the Numpties who live in Numptie land worked very very hard making things. A long time before that, they lived very simply growing stuff and eating it but it is always wet and drear in Numptie land and this created an itch they could never scratch - in other words the Numpties always wanted more so they started to make things. The cleverer Numpties invented artful things such as Bykees, machines that Numpties could sit on and, by whirling their legs round, they could travel faster. Numpties love to go faster - to where I never really understood - but by golly they got there quicker and quicker. Some Numpties were artful at making money; some were artful at making bykee bits. The ones that had the money made the ones that built the bykees work very hard for just a little bit of the money. This, some Numpties said, was unfair and they got very cross and sometimes refused to get out of bed to make bykees, which made the rich ones cross and worried. Then someone invented the haulers - big metal boxes that burned the underground stuff that the desert people had but didn’t want because they had bumpy animals to ride around on. These haulers meant that rich Numpties could whiz about even faster without whirling their legs around and they soon got the clever Numpties to work in big sheds making Haulers. The clever ones got even crosser because they wanted Haulers so that they could whiz about without whirling their legs..........
