BREXIT.

October 31st each year in the United Kingdom sees the ritual re-enactment of the Asking For An Extension ceremony.

For many years a representative of the ruling party is selected from among the back-benchers and given the opportunity to don a Johnson costume and become the Dipstick who is despatched to Brussels in order for the United Kingdom to continue its negotiations to leave the European Union.

The Johnson approaches the Juncker and asks: "May we have an extension, please?

The Juncker replies: "You may. See you next year."

The Johnson replies: "Much Obliged", tugs his forelock and offers a small sum of Great British Pounds to the European Investment Bank and leaves Brussels quietly.

No-one knows why this happens.
