The Seven Ages of Man

All this talk about the seven ages of man is, of course, irrelevant.  Senior figures, many of them respected members of the community are at pains to point out that there  is really only one age of man and that is old and decaying. That's not two separate ages, by the way - just one. It all depends on how  quickly you read it. Try  running the three words together, as in "oldanddecaying". See? The chap on the right, Professor Codger is one such respected figure. A boulevardier in his pomp, these days he has a motorised chair but still manages to charm the ladies. Wanton dribbling, it seems, is still acceptable among the chattering classes. The good professor is a man of many talents and can multi-task, particularly when performing his party-piece. This involves rocking his motorised chair from side to side whilst simultaneously dribbling from his mouth and wetting himself. A remarkable feat, given that his DRYBLAD colostomy sac is a state-of-the-art model, tailored by Fargs of Harley Street. It's a strange world and no mistake.
