Cleese flogs colon on website

MONTY PYTHON'S John Cleese says he is planning to flog a part of his colon he doesn't want on his website.

Cleese has had surgery to cure diverticulitis which is when the colon gets pockets where fruit and nuts lurk and causes discomfort.

The answer is to lop the whole lot off and Cleese says he has found a nice surgeon whose Parkinson's disease is only in the first stage to do the work.

He said that the colon will be sold on his site in the next few days to eager fans who always seem to want a piece of the action, or at least Cleese himself.

Although the news has been treated seriously by the US press, at the INQ we are a little sceptical. Cleese's follow-up yarn claims that his post operative flatulence was responsible for a recent suspected tornado over the weekend in Santa Barbara.

It quoted a SpokesCleese Loretta von Farhtstumpfen as saying her client was simply following the advice of medical professionals and would like to sincerely apologise for any local damage that may have inadvertently occurred.
