"A number of sleeping policemen have had to be scrapped after it was discovered they did not meet the ethnic diversity requirements of their force.
They are now in storage until a means can be found which allows them to be disposed of in a manner which meets all environmental legislation."

"Four carbon men from the planet Zorb visiting Earth are held up at gunpoint and told to drop to the floor by dwarf man dressed as a cone".

You can’t see the gun because the cone man’s back is to us of course.

Ok, I’m scrapping the barrel now.
