From [livejournal.com profile] jrittenhouse's post about some of the delightfully odd things found in the Telegraph obituary columns:

"David Muffett, who has died aged 88, applied the skills he had honed when dealing with cannibals in colonial Africa to battling education ministers and teaching unions in his role as chairman of Hereford and Worcester County Council education committee."

Also, from the obituary for Susan Elliott, a comment about her late husband (who seems to be the real subject of the column): "Back in Ibiza, his affairs continued, his taste running to the exotic, including Chinese waiters, Moroccan gigolos, Spanish garage attendants, Barbadian shop assistants, even a hunchbacked Haitian dwarf."

Which leads tangentially to today's xkcd: Hey, I don't make the rules.
