Smart Artists guitarist is only half the man he used to be.
The NSW North Coast was in a state of panic last night when it was found that a deadly, new strain of virus was causing musicians to shrink.
Smart Artists guitarist Peter Hall and his beautiful wife Melinda were particularly worried. ‘We went to bed early last night,’ Melinda sobbed. ‘I took off my make-up and measured Peter, just as I normally do. But I was devastated to find that he had shrunk by 2 inches!’‘At first I thought our son, Christopher was playing tricks on us by chopping bits off the tape measure, but the tape was fine.’
‘If Peter carries on shrinking at the present rate, he will be a midget by New Year,’ she confided.
‘Still, looking on the bright-side, he will be able to be play one of Willy Wonka’s Umpa, Lumpas, when he gets down to 18 inches.’
Doctor William Batty, a top virologist from John Flynn’s Gold Coast Hospital explained that the virus is believed to have been brought into Australia by English Cricket captain Andrew Flintoff following his recent arrival from Great Britain.
