Bored at work? Good. Go to the Comedy Central website and click on ‘Duck and Cover’. Then click on ‘#2 With a Bullet’. Quick, before they disappear.

These video gems are from The Daily Show With Jon Stewart, a show that’s been living the comedy dream since US Vice Prez Dick Cheney mistook his 78-year-old mate for a grouse and shot him in the face.

Cheney’s victim, Harry Whittington, yesterday apologised for being shot. "My family and I are deeply sorry for all that Vice-President Cheney and his family have had to go through this past week," he told reporters as he emerged from hospital after having his face put back together and suffering a heart attack.
