Man who isn't a total arsehole keeps being called 'woke'

A MAN who is not an irredeemably awful arsehole is being praised as a ‘woke’ progressive.

Tom Booker meets the basic standards of decency by not pissing all over the toilet seat, farting in public or saying ‘banter’ unironically, yet is considered enlightened in comparison to other men.

Friend Wayne Hayes said: “Ugh, Tom’s so bloody woke. He doesn’t cheat on his wife and isn’t even angry that she earns more than him. Sorry we can’t all be social justice kings like you and Gary Lineker. 

“And he really rubs it in by taking out the recycling every week, which is virtue signalling, and I’ve never heard him crack racist or homophobic jokes. Not even when he’s tired or drunk or a bit stressed.”

Booker’s wife Helen added: “He cares about social issues, gives to charity, and does an adequate job washing up. It’s so grating and performative. He even lets me come first when we shag. Like okay, we get it, you’re better than us.”

Booker himself said: “I tried to tell everyone that I’m borderline acceptable and not the second coming of Owen Jones, but they just sneered at my humblebrag. Considering punching a nun to get them off my case.”

What the shit you went out and got framed and put on your wall says about you

YOU have a nice flat with framed stuff on the walls, like in films. But why the f**k did you go and frame that?

Signed football shirt

These look tacky in multi-millionaire footballers’ massive Cheshire homes, and they played in the actual game. If a Sharpie-scribbled shiny shirt with a Far East internet betting business’ logo on it has pride of place on your wall, it indicates you have no aesthetic sense.

Family portrait

Drunk with baby-raising, you were conned into a family portrait session and got the massive print. Now it looms over the room, a grim reminder of how f**king knackered you’ve been for literally years. Plus you never got it done again for the second kid and now they have low self-esteem.

Original gig or movie poster

Well done for being a New Order fan since 1988, but this poster was cheap crap on a bus stop 30 years ago and it still looks it. Movie posters are borderline but be careful, that movie will become the only thing visitors remember about you. You’re now Fiona-who-likes-WildAtHeart.

Nerd shit

Come on, dudes. Don’t put that Dalek/Skyrim/V for Vendetta poster on the walls, much less that one-of-a-kind animation cel. You might want to have sex in this room at some point, and that’s not going to happen with Battlestar Galactica up there. It never has.

Original landscape art by a relative

A grandmother’s watercolours, a grandfather’s oils, a son-in-law’s fancy photograph of some f**king bridge in Sweden – they gave it you and now you’ve got to have it up. They’re always landscapes because none of them can do faces. Not that they can do landscapes.

A charming little print you picked up from a young artists’ fair in Stockholm

That’s what you call it. ‘A charming little print I picked up from a young artists’ fair in Stockholm.’ And when guests leave, as they get in the car, they mimic ‘a charming little print I picked up from a young artists’ fair in Stockholm’, but in a cruel voice and replacing ‘artists’ with ‘wankers’.
