Johnnie rejected yet again

Former Prime Minister and eyebrow enthusiast, John Howard, has had to relive his childhood inadequacies when the International Cricket Council (ICC) rejected him for the role of vice president.

Howard who is known to both watch cricket and occasionally power walk around the neighbourhood in his tracksuit, said he was outraged to have been blocked from the opportunity.

“D-d-d-on’t these p-p-people know I-i-i-i ruled Australia?!” he stuttered agitatedly.

The rejection has come from the Asian and African factions of the club, including India, South Africa and Pakistan, and while the ICC has not released its reasons for the decision, overseas media commentary has speculated that the former PM’s “closet racism” was to blame.

Howard expressed surprise at the accusation saying that the national Australian cricket team had led him to believe that racism was a prerequisite for the job.
