Wanted: new subeditor for unconscious

[webofevil]

Never leave your subconscious in charge of wordplay. I woke up the other day and caught the tail-end of a dream I was having, in which I had tried to construct some elaborate joke that played with the phrase “Ban this sick filth”. My subconscious seemed bizarrely pleased with the result, although my own incredulity increased the more I contemplated the phrase I was left looking at in my mind’s eye.

So the story is that at one point Peter Falk was lined up to play Darth Vader in one of the prequels, and the Daily Mail had led a campaign to dump him and get in someone else, with the following headline:

“BIN THIS FALK SITH”

I mean, for God's sake.
