Alan Jones Solves Boston Bomber Mystery

Today on 2UE radio, Alan Jones brought law enforcement into a new age, announcing that the Boston marathon bombings were perpetrated by 'left-wing radical students' in the university town. Director of the FBI immediately ordered forensic investigation teams at the site to return to the office for a ‘damn good talking-to.’

Listen to Alan Jones demonstrating the deductive skills that have made him the go-to guy for detective agencies around the world:

“We pay these guys all this money to find this stuff out,” bellowed FBI director Robert Mueller. “We get them cool white pyjamas, we give them heaps of those little numbered triangles to put on the ground, and we let them spray-paint all over the street. We even give them these seriously amazeballs telephoto cameras so they can photograph the after-effects of people exercising their Second Amendment rights without getting their shoes all bloody!  And Alan Jones solves the whole thing on the way to the studio in his Mercedes? That’s the last time I let them watch CSI: Miami in the lunch room, let me tell you!”



"Beats me. I'm just glad Jonesey's on the case!"

Australian police are deeply troubled by mister Jones’ announcement that similar crimes are likely as a result of the country’s willingness to attract overseas students. “It hadn’t occurred to us,” wailed Australian Federal police chief Tony Negus. “All these wide-eyed middle-class twenty-somethings coming across from Malaysia and India and Singapore and other Communist strongholds – every one of them is obviously a cold-eyed killer, just waiting for a chance to slip down the local sports park and spread a little Maoist mayhem! We’re just glad the Big Fella has opened our eyes. We’ll be watching the Bubble Tea cafes and Communication 103 lectures for ANYONE a bit foreign-looking with a Hello Kitty backpack. Thanks Jonesey!”

"Look out! LEFT WING RADICALS!"

 

Authorities in several nations have contacted mister Jones, hoping to capitalise on his phenomenal deductive skills. Britain’s prime minster James Cameron is seeking Jones’ support for his theory that Margaret Thatcher was assassinated by left-wing students in 1982, who spiked her morning Earl Grey with, quote, ‘a really, REALLY slow-acting poison’. Russian authorities are hoping Jones can confirm their long-held suspicions that the 1912 Tunguska blast, widely claimed to be a ‘meteor strike’, was in fact an early attempt by pre-communist rebels to eliminate pro-government reindeer.

Mister Jones has also been approached by  several people asking whether  he is in fact just making up a bunch of inflammatory shit because he knows his listeners are too thick to actually think beyond the constraints of their narrow, bigoted world view. Mister Jones’ press secretary officially rejected this allegation, but later added that it was ‘pretty much true. Luckily most of them would believe it if Jonesey told them the prime minister was a giant lizard in a costume, so it’s not like it matters,’ before driving away in a Mercedes.

Frank admissions

So...

With the end of the world finally here, it’s time for a few frank admissions. Starting now…

I don’t write this blog. Every line is written by three blokes in Sri Lanka who I pay eight bucks a month to write cutting satire and insightful observational comedy. They say hi, and thanks for liking the "Weekend at Bernie’s" one so much. It’s their fave.

"Good work fellas. Keep the Kanye gags coming."

 

Most of my Facebook friends are imaginary. Specifically, T, D and B (seriously, how many real people have you met called ‘Mhaistone’?), Steve D (the imaginary baby sister I always wished I’d had), Kelly D (nooobody is that nice in real life), Brent H (who is basically how I imagine myself if I had friends, talent and a degree in cosmology. And Tourette’s), Ed G (essentially a blend of me, Bear Grylls and Beavis slash Butthead) and Sherrill R (who is my perfect imaginary lunch companion: “Do you want that last Shanghai dumpling? No…? Thanks!”). Everyone else? You are totally real. But you are imagining me.

Most of the advertising spam you receive is from me. I type every message out myself, crafting it to dig fish hooks into your psyche and secretly steer you towards my clients’ product/website/frozen banana stand on Cottesloe Beach. You know how sometimes a web page pops up you don’t remember searching for? That’s me, invisibly pulling your strings. Or when you take a wrong turn looking for your aunt’s place and end up in front of a run-down shopping strip with a travel agent that only sells tickets to Nigeria? Me again. In fact I’m doing it now: two weeks after reading this, you will receive a box of cheap Viagra you don’t remember ordering.

"Uh...why do they say 'Aspirin?" "Oh, that's Nigerian for 'Viagra!'"

Bear Grylls is nowhere near as awesome as everyone thinks. I do most of his stunts. He still does the cool leapy-swimmy-climby stuff; by ‘stunts’ I mean ‘eating bugs’, ‘sleeping in camels’ and ‘drinking his pee’. All the REALLY hard stuff.

"Twist of lemon mister Grylls?"

 

I wrote ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’. It was easier than you might think: I just set up my dictation software and put the microphone in a room with two cats fighting over a pork chop.

"Oh my!"

 

There are almost no real people on Twitter. It’s just a large-scale Turing test I set up, to see if a computer could write well enough to convince people to follow it. Tragically, there are now so many spambots on Twitter that it is simply a bizarre merry-go-round of computer programs trying to convince other computer programs to send their bank details to Nigerian princesses. What I can’t figure out is why the program is ordering all that Viagra.

You CAN get rich at home using your computer, acai berries WILL make you thin, you CAN lose belly fat using this one weird tip, there ARE singles in your area looking for love right now, and you really have won the New York Grand Lottery first prize of eighty million dollars. Unfortunately you will die of aspartame poisoning, get bitten by a Mexican jumping spider, be chloroformed by two strangers offering ‘perfume’ in a shopping centre car park, or get cancer from mobile phones, power lines, margarine, plastic food containers, disposable chopsticks, soy products or New Car Smell before you can take advantage on any of this.

Damn You Autocorrect: that’s me, every time. You actually send the message you think you typed, but I intercept it and modify your text so the recipient gets a completely different dickweasel.

The Mayan calendar is my work. That was meant to be a blog entry about how we should do our work calendar in base thirteen because it would make it easier to calculate four weeks annual leave (a thirteenth of a year). I didn’t finish it because somebody sent me the link to Gangnam Style and I spent three weeks trying to learn the dance (‘left left left, right right right, left, right, r…DAMMIT!’) Also, it was really hard to get that big round rock back into the printer.

Righto, I can hear the sirens wailing, the meteors exploding overhead, the rising oceans gushing into the basement and the earthquakes rending tectonic plates as Dread Cthulhu/the Mayan God Bolon Yokte’ K’uh rises from his ancient slumber. Time to don the Mayan-proof underwear and head for the Snopes Bunker. Thanks all for reading, and I’ll see you next…

Oh. Right.
