Rant

Alfie Crow

Meet Mike Rant, would be actor and reluctant agent, on a series of wildly unlikely but very funny adventures. I particularly enjoyed the one about the child who has Tourettes and his classmates.

'I think it's my wife's finger,' I sobbed. 'Like a ransom demand thing.'
He peered at the finger, looking slightly queasy.
'She has very hairy knuckles, your wife.' He said
I looked closer. He was right. I hadn't noticed that before.
'And very large hands for a woman.' He looked at me. 'She's not a transsexual or something is she? I mean, I don't mind. I just don't want to cause offence.'
