It’s not particularly silly, is it? I mean, the right leg isn’t silly at all and the left leg merely does a forward aerial half turn every alternate step.

Yes, but I think that with government backing I could make it very silly.

The commonplace routine of a typical Monday morning would never be the same again, for into this quiet little community came … Mr Neutron!

Mr. Pudey, the very real problem is one of money. I’m afraid that the Ministry of Silly Walks is no longer getting the kind of support it needs. You see there’s Defense, Social Security, Health, Housing, Education, Silly Walks… they’re all supposed to get the same. But last year, the Government spent less on the Ministry of Silly Walks than it did on National Defense! Now we get £348,000,000 a year, which is supposed to be spent on all our available programs.
