    And now, an update on the condition
    of Prime Minister Boris Johnson:
    (AP - April 6, 2020 - 20:00 hours GMT)

    "Unfortunately, as of the latest series of tests,
    the prime minister continues to be an Arsehole,"
    said Doctor Arthur Twombley-Knobbend, head of
    medicine at King's College GKT, on Sunday night.

    "The condition is, of course, congenital: he was
    born an arsehole, he has lived his entire life as
    one, and sadly, he will one day die an arsehole."

    The prime minister shares the condition along
    with a number of other world leaders, notably
    the current president of the United States, and
    many prior PMs, including Theresa May, David
    Cameron, Tony Blair, John Major, and of course
    Lady Margaret Thatcher. Spain's late president
    Francisco Franco was an arsehole for 82 years,
    including the 40 years he spent ruling Spain,
    culminating with his death 1975. He remains
    dead to this day.

    "Being an arsehole is no impediment to achieving
    high office," said Dr. Twombley-Knobbend, "In fact,
    it appears to enhance the likelihood of doing so."

    Mr. Johnson is expected to make a full recovery
    from the coronavirus, as he is being provided with
    the finest medical care available to people of
    means - but not to be cured of being an arsehole.
