MINSK, Belarus: Mercenary boss Yevgeny Prigozhin (at top, left) has arrived here and has reportedly developed a sudden yet total aversion to standing too close to fourth-floor windows.
The leader of the Wagner fighting group has also complegely lost his appetite and can’t for the life of him understand why he now hates standing too close to the edge of railway platforms.
But worst of all, he now breaks out in cold sweats and shakes uncontrollably whenever he is anywhere near armed men, a difficult situation given his line of work.

SYDNEY, Australia: Gifted author Parnell Palme McGuinness (at top, very right) has been invited to enter this year’s Booker Prize for a work of fiction.
The prize is normally restricted to Great Britain and Republic of Ireland writers but the Booker people were mightily impressed with a column McGuinness write for Saturday’s edition of The Sydney Morning Herald.
Here’s how McGuinness began her essay and is it any wonder it has captured the attention of the Booker judges?
“Maybe it’s the glasses, but Peter Dutton is looking like a new man. One who could win the next election. But right now, winning is the worst thing that could happen to the Liberal Party.”
A Booker source told The Bug: “It grabs you from the get-go, doesn’t it? We could very well have out first Southern Hemisphere winner right there!”
“I can’t see any of our local talent coming anywhere near matching fictional prose of such cutting brilliance.”
