Never mind, I think you could try it," said the gadget man.
"Er, dear Author, we know you are a bit loopy and nobody likes you, but in our eyes you are a genius."
"Steady on," I said, "or I might not be able to get my head out of the door."
"You could help us win the lottery?" suggested Sid.
"I don't like gambling," said I.
"Just give us the money," demanded Sid.
"I don't want to just give it to you; this is supposed to be a funny book. I want you to get it in a funny way."
"That sounds dubious, what if we cannot?" asked Arthur.
"Just think of some ways you can get millions of pounds legally."
"The lottery," suggested Sid.
"No Sid, no matter how many times you ask."
"Erm, a bank loan," offered Arthur.
"Not in today's climate."
"Book deal, advance?" thought Arthur.
"Not unless you're an ex Prime Minister."
"Pot of gold from a leprechaun?" offered Sid.
"They don't exist."
"You could make one up."
"No. But that's an idea, you could find a gold mine and earn millions, better than Cash 4 Gold."
"Ok," said Arthur, "give us a clue, where do we find one?"
"There's some in Wales, California, New South Wales..."
"Any not owned by anyone else or in a different country?"
"Well, that would be telling."
"Do tell," said Sid, "we need the money."
"Try looking underneath the school yard.
"The school yard, do not tell me we were sitting on a gold mine all the time?" whined Arthur.
"Ok, I won't tell you that then."
