Mother Goose Land (AP) - Paramedics rushed to the garden wall down in the Dell today to discover a horrific sight.
Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall, as he has done countless times in the past. The well-known comedian and, well . . . egg guy, was sitting as per his daily routine.
That was when the unthinkable happened.
It seems Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
Paramedics from the King Ambulance Service (the first in the region to employ horses) were rushed to the scene only to discover a sight that made the most experienced veteran turn pale.
"There were little pieces of shell everywhere, along with his clothes," said Paramedic Lieutenant Wee Willie Winkle, now recovering nicely from his sleep disorder. "The worst part was that Humpty was still alive! Good god HE WAS STILL ALIVE! His yolk and albumen were splattered all over the place! GOD IT WAS AWFUL!"
Despite their best efforts, all the King's horses and all the King's men couldn't put Humpty together again.
The giant egg-man-thing is survived by his wife, Bernice, 37, and two children, Omelette and Benedict.
A memorial service will be held at Denny's tomorrow morning, just in time for Grand Slams and Moons Over My Hammy!
