Silly Stories

Silly Stories involves entering nouns, adverbs and adjectives, along with a series of 'special words' into the program. These are then included in a variety of formats including recipes, fairy tales, a history lesson or a newspaper article. For example, this was one such story to appear as a newspaper article in the Bath Evening News: "The village of Footballsville was left in shock this morning after the disappearance of a bloody, nasty Martin Axford from the village hall," said a weird villager. "I hope we get it back quickly."

The Martin Axford was last seen at around 10pm the previous night by a horrid man as he took his knife for a walk. The Police have been notified and are appealing for large witnesses to come forward slowly. They want to interview a splendid man with a shiny beard and rough hair seen loitering hastily in the area, carrying a rope.

If you have any information please call Heapsville 56589. A reward of four prime whiskey bottles is offered." [Hang on a minute, has anyone seen Martin lately? - Ed]
