don't say the m word you monkey

Robert Key shocked the cricket world by saying the one word that should never be used.

Muppets.

To call a selector, an administracrat, or a pitch inspector a muppet is the single worst word you can use.

Call them cocksuckers.

Compare them to a dildo.

Mention what a massive ass clown they are.

But don't you dare call them muppets.

It's offensive, to muppets.

Robert Key was fined 1250 quid for using them m word, which for an IPL cricketer is the cash you use to light your cigar with, but for someone on key's salary it's serious money, i mean other than pie sponsorship deals and kent, who is going to give him money.

In related news Jim Henson's estate are looking at taking a class action suit out against the ICC, and all major cricket boards for defamation of his characters.

A lawyer for the estate read a prepared statement.

"The muppets are a well loved family entertainment icon, as a brand we would not like them brought down to the standard of any cricket officials, we think this is a grosse injustice, and we are looking into the legalities of these continuing incidents at the moment. "

Rob Key is a smart man though, he knows he has done wrong.

For his part, Key admitted his remarks were "inappropriate and I offer my unreserved apology to all concerned".www.cricketwithballs.com... Aussie Haiku straight to your box
