A Modern Day Blackadder Might Do This

“Special Fall Issue
Britain’s biggest-selling hiking magazine apologizes for publishing a route that would lead climbers off the edge of a cliff.”

Here’s the link to the article.

Plot summary:

Edmund gives his enemy McAngus the February 2004 issue of Trail that has the faulty directions. The plan is to have McAngus follow the directions and be led off the north face of the 4,406-foot mountain. Edmund has to rely on Baldrick and Percy to keep McAngus from learning of the publisher’s error. Hilarity ensues.

[Baldric] “That is indeed a cunning plan, milord.” **

Blackadder’s cunning plan is foiled when Lord Flasheart rescues McAngus, Percy and Baldrick from a certain death on the peak

[Lord Flasheart] Last time I saw peaks like those, I left them with erect nipples! So, Bladders, trying to off McAngus with a bogus trail map? Pretty sneaky. Heres something thats pretty sneaky, too! (knee-shot to crotch) Woof! [/Lord Flasheart]

Edmund: So, Baldrick, you exchanged our magazine for McAngus’s?

Baldrick: That’s right, milord

Edmund: And Percy, you also exchanged our magazine for McAngus’s?

Percy: That’s right, Edmund. I thought it best to make sure.

Edmund: So if you both exchanged the magazine, we now have our original magazine. Which means we’ve been following the wrong trail. Which means one thing.

Baldrick: What’s that, milord?

Edmund: I’m going to die as I have lived; surrounded by idiots.
