And the Winner is.....

Published by: The WordCloud on 23rd Jan 2012 | View all blogs by The WordCloud
Thanks for all your variously silly, cheeky and witty entries for the joke competition. After much guffawing and chuckling the office has decided that the joke from Guero Davila was the one that tickled us the most!

 So Guero, you now have the absolute pleasure of a Prose Probe from our fab duo Debi & Emma.

Special mention goes to Steve for his Tattoist joke and Barb for her Four Fonts... we really did like them all.
For all those who weren't so lucky don't despair, Emma and Debi's fabulous self-editing course is still bookable, still has space enough for you and still stars the gorgeous gals themselves  just pop along to their super-fandabulous SELF-EDITING course

    Well done Guero! A probe can't hurt that much, can it?

    Well done, GD. a worthy winner but I gotta say the obvious. WC has made it easy on Debi and Emma by picking a polished writer like GD. The guy writes beautifully, uses correct punctuation, doesn't, stick comma's in all over the place....

    Knda like giving Steve Redgrave a personal trainer for a week. "Steve, you can come off the rowing machine now....Steve.? Steve? STEVE!"


    Off for my sulk.

    So what was the joke? Sometimes it amazes me that the obvious gets overlooked.

    "WC has made it easy on Debi and Emma by picking a polished writer like GD. The guy writes beautifully, uses correct punctuation, doesn't, stick comma's in all over the place...."

    Actually, the better the writer the harder it is to work on - not because there's nothing to say, but because it can be much harder to work out WHY the things which don't work, don't work. Sometimes with a good writer I have to go for a walk after reading it, before I know what's not working, and halfway round the park I'll suddenly find my mind saying "Ah, it's because we don't actually see X". Correcting commas and spotting head-hops and pushing wrongly-placed Telling around is the easy bit ;-)

    And I loved all the jokes - glad I didn't have to choose! Though GD's was very, very funny!

    Noted with interest. Looking forward to this.

    for me it would be mostly f7 spell check and a year seven gramar lesson....and colouring outside of the lines......
