The Numskulls

I’m not sure if anyone remembers the numbskulls from the Beano comics? They were basically little guys in a mans head controlling each part of his head – There was Brian in a very obvious area, Blinkey on the eyes, and a few others whose name elude me at this time, (but what some childhood memories are flooding back thinking about these guys) So here’s a little blog that emerged from this flash back…

Out of Control

An alarm goes off the in the master control room, which startles brainstem from her slumber. She leaps from her chair and looks at the control panel to see a light flashing and the meter showing critical in the lower body region. Picking up the phone she calls through to their control room to see what the problem is?

After four or five rings the call is eventually answered

“Hello!”
“What’s going on down there?”
“What do you mean…oh...I’ll get back to you it appears we have a small pressure problem”

Squirt hangs up and turns to speak to Splat

“Is this in your area?”
“No sir nothing out of the ordinary here, although we have word from Chomper that a Pizza was consumed last night with lots spicy meats so we are preparing for the worst!”
“Right must be something here then – thanks”

After a little investigation squirt soon discovers the problem and telephones Goggles

“Hi - It’s Squirt – Where are we?”
“In a car”
“Right – Contact Brainstem and tell her we need to get home now please – Code blue! – Tell me the moment you recognise the area”
“No worries!”

Squirt presses a few buttons to allow the pressure to go down slightly then sits back with his hand over a big red release button, while monitoring the meters.

20 minutes later the pressure it back up to critical. The phone rings, it’s Goggles

“Good to go!”

Squirt slams the release button and thankfully the disaster is averted

Phew that was close Marie says – thought I was going to wee myself!
