Lee Is Gay
Originally uploaded by escaped.monkey.

This day was great.

I saw this written on the wall of a pub toilet. Here's how I picture the story behind it:

A man who knows Lee decided that people who use the urinal next to this wall should know that Lee is gay, although he probably is not! Lee, upon seeing this, was incensed, and took out his tippex pen (why does Lee carry a tippex pen?!), intending to remove this foul adage.

Now, he only had enough time to delete one word, so his options were to have it say, "---- is gay", "Lee --- gay", or "Lee is ---". He cleverly went for the last option, because that left things ambiguous enough for it to possibly have read "Lee is nice".

Unfortunately for our intrepid Lee, his weak tippex was not enough to cover the damning judgement of his sexuality. Taking the initiative, he instead decided to prefix the entire statement with the word "every", therefore slandering every Lee in the universe. If he was going to be known as gay, he would damn well take every other Lee down with him. Truly the last refuge of a desperate man. And probably a secretly gay one.

After this I went to a party where I met none other than The Gadget Show's Jon Bentley!

Considering the great day I had, this picture is sort of rubbish.
