Maybe this one didn't, but the story of the BBC news anchorman who
handed over to the Weather-girl with the comment,
"Well, it's been warm and wet in London today, and here's Isobel Lang to
tell you more. I wonder if she's warm and wet?"
Is perfectly true. (Although I probably haven't got the wording
exactly right - I was laughing too much to memorise it).
