With great pride, Little Darwin announces that our rare Shipping Reporter , seen above during his wild outback teenage years setting sail for the distant waterfront, has signed a contract authorising part of his body to be used for the advancement of medical science. We hasten to state we are not pulling your leg , dear reader .
As usual , the local media failed to cover the momentous signing event which took place at a golden staph free bus stop outside the newly named Townsville University Hospital . The Shipping Reporter's hard to read scribbled signature gave the okay for the cardio vascular department to use ultra sound footage of a barnacle encrusted leg of his in which a stent had been inserted in a most unusual position .
Rated X because of the his technicolour groin , the film will be used for training purposes , possibly even shown in cinemas worldwide, Disney Land . The hospital has kindly agreed that extensive royalties flowing from the hit leg flashing show will be donated to the worthy Decrepit , Seasick and Wrecked Journalists Fund .
