Does this work III ?

I had a definite punchline in place for this, then I chopped and changed it. Now it's nearly 2am and I don't know whether it works.

Yes, it works. One wonders what would have been said if the two were male (and if Elizabeth was male).

"Tosser or what?!!"

Yes, Malc, it does.

I deliberately chose women as the protagonists (a) I'm targeting a womens mag and (b) it takes on a whole new slant using women instead of fat businessmen, one which doesn't necessarily alienate fat sexist businessmen. Bit cynical, maybe, but.... er.....yes. Harrumph.

The objects on the table are from Hank Marvin's new shadowless range (dist. by Executive Paraphernalia Inc.)

[Roger Kettle]

It works. 100%.

[Mince]

99.5% - no shadows on the desk.
