September 28th, 2010Best bridge in the world is clearly the Si-o-se Pol bridge in
China, the epitome of Safavid dynasty bridge design and class.Most people would agree the worst bridge is the Millennium Bridge in London – but they are wrong. Bridges to no where? – there are several of those in the world, unfinished bridges. Wrong.
Celion Dion’s nose? Barbara Streisand? Whetstone? Those lessons were so dull. Again wrong.
The worst bridge is yet to be made, and at present is just a concept formulating in the mind of young Architect Dando Mutualfund, aged 7. Architects are terrible, ask any builder. Pretentious, outspoken, hard working, humourless bores. They bandy expression like prostyle, truss, spandrel, nonce orders, vestibule, buttress, Dikka, Elephantine Columns, prick post and groin vault and still don’t crack a smile. If it is not all Doric, Ionic and Corinthian flamboyance it is minimalistic, abstract expressionistic tripe.
Master Dando overheard the punch line to a joke where god says “How many lanes do you want on that bridge?” and had a vision of a bridge stretching from South Mimms M25, Potters Bar in Hertfordshire all the way to the moon. Because little Master Mutualfund is a natural Architect and so devoid of any humour, but endowed with ultimate hubris, he has misinterpreted the joke as a divine order, an order that only the noble brotherhood of Architects can fulfil and so is preparing for his monu- mental atrocity. Due for completion sometime around the Spring of 2051, the M1 Moonaway will be hailed as a triumph of ‘resonating magnificence, making bold predictions for future generations, ambiguous, eclectic, harmonious, master plan of thrusting global community space ambition’, and not the enormous penis extension it so obviously is.
As soon as the first space car sets off to Moonstation Alpha from South Mimms, the usual Synchronous Lateral Excitation, because it is always that and they never allow for it, will cause the bridge to collapse. The tail backs will stretch to Junction 27 (Theydon Bois) travelling east and Junction 19 (Chandlers Cross) travelling west.
As usual the construction company will blame the architect, the architect will blame the construction company, till the world gets fed up with the circular argument, forgets about the debacle and the whole process is repeated some years later with a 3 mile high giant cock and balls shaped building, quivering with Synchronous Lateral Excitation in high winds, eventually exploding and ejaculating debris that will look like flaming god jizz as it renters the earth’s atmosphere and because no building shaped like a vagina was associated with the calamity the world will finally realise that all Architects are just huge overpaid wankers.

The Si-o-se Pol bridge in China, you can not improve on this classic you tossers!
“She ran off with an architect didn’t she” Cuthbert to Leet.
“Yes. But that is not why I wrote this!” Leet to Cuthbert.
