There have been allegations recently that Toxic Custard has e
contained concealed subliminal messages relating to devil- l
worhsip, unnatural acts with animals, unnatural acts with l
RSPCA inspectors, clues as to the whereabouts of other ,
subliminal messages, unnatural acts with the author and how the
author wishes everyone would send him lots of money. All but i
the last two have been strenuously denied. An investigation of all t
the allegations made has concluded that in fact the allegations were
made by the author himself in search of a laugh. An investigation c
of the author has revealed that he is suffering from a common o
condition known as assignment fatigue. An investigation into u
assignment fatigue has revealed that it doesn't exist, but if l
it did, it would be the result of university students having to do d
work when they don't feel like it. This of course makes it very
rare. An investigation into investigations was abandoned because it b
was "too damn silly" by investigative investigator Mr Nick Natas. e

Do you suffer HAIR LOSS? r
What about SPLIT END? s
Ever considered BALDNESS? e
Baldness is now a simple option, with our revolutionary new ;
HAIRSUCTION. How does HAIRSUCTION work, you ask? Do you really want to
know? Well, basically, first the patient signs the indemnity form, then t
steps inside the HAIRSUCTION machine. The HAIRSUCTION machine has been h
especially developed by Dangerous Electronics Pty Ltd. A large vacuum i
tube is attached to the patient's head, then the HAIRSUCTION console s
operator stabs randomly at the buttons until the machine starts, then
runs for cover. If all goes well, as it may well do, within ten c
minutes, the patient will emerge from the machine, completely bald. o
A former patient, who preferred to remain anonymous, though we'll u
call him Louis (well, why not?), spoke us from his hospital bed for a l
large amount of money. "Yes, Hairsuction is marvellous. I only wanted d
three inches off my hair, but they CRAMMED my head into the Hairsuction
machine and turned it on. When I woke up here, I was bald. It's slashed b
my shampoo bills." e
