#767 — Anyone for a hippoback?

Posting that C5 story from Metro reminds me: they had another story  
yesterday, about someone who got a photograph of a crocodile riding on the  
back of a hippopotamus (presumably mistaking it for a rock). The headline  
was "Anyone for a hippoback?".

I still cannot work out the pun, despite being a connoisseur of crappy  
puns. Someone *please* enlighten me.

Piggyback

It's not really very "punny" (nor was that! Ed.)

Oh, right. But how disappointing! I was trying to get something like  
"hypocrite".

Are piggybacks traditionally taken upon the backs of pigs?

Stupid Metro :)

A piggyback seems to be the name for a personback.
 That rather slutty member of the Minogue family once commented that she 
preffered piggyfronts.
 Oooer.

You don't mean the divine Dannii, do you, Brian? Because I won't stand
for you impugning the good name of a decent and gentle woman, sir. I
will be forced, aye *forced*, to defend her honour.

'Course, if you were talking about the other one, say what you like,
mate.

Every time I see that name I blink and wonder if I've drunk too much.

I had a torrid affair with her once. It was amazing.

Well actually, I didn't. But my Advanced Torrid Affair With Dannii MInogue 
Simulator was pretty amazing, and all in 16k.

Sam Fox once shoved her tits in my face.

Well, actually, she didn't. But I almost beat SFSP one time and fell
into the telly in excitement. It was rubbish.

Not to mention rather more painful than real tits, as I discovered
later. I'm glad it didn't put me off them, eh, readers?

[1] No, I'm fairly sure that's *definitely* not right.

backee reference, so here it is.
