Following John Howard's daily routine, Tony started jogging every morning near his Downing St home.

Every morning on his chosen route, he would pass an

attractive prostitute standing on a street corner.He

learned to brace himself as he approached her, for what

was almost certain to follow.

"Fifty pounds." She'd shout from the kerb.

"No, Five pounds." Tony would reply is his usual jocular

manner.

This ritual between Tony and the 'Lady of the Morning

became a daily routine.

He'd run, she'd yell. "Fifty pounds." ;

He'd yell back. "Five pounds."

One day Cherie decided that she wanted to run with

Tony, As the jogging couple neared the 'working womans

patch, Tony realised that she would bark her usual fifty

pounds offer, and Cherie would wonder what he'd been up

to on all his recent daily outings.

He figured that he'd better have a damn good

explanation for Cherie and as they turned towards

corner he was racking his brains trying to come up with

some believable explanation.

Sure enough, there she was standing on the corner as

usual. Tony tried to avoid her eyes as she silently

watched the pair jog past.

Then from behind them, she yelled, "See what you get

for Five quid."
