STARRY-EYED former Hong Kong television personality John Moorhead, now seeking his fortune in London, is plotting a brief return to the territory, I hear. He will be bringing two of London's wildest comedians with him, so expect large amounts of craziness.
'I've been bob-sleighing,' said one of the funnymen, former French teacher John Moloney. 'I killed 20 Bobs.' Moorhead told me: 'It's caused me so much worry that I've started to go bald.' He said someone offered to give him something to give him a full head of hair on top and a ponytail down the back. 'I got it yesterday,' he said. 'It was a squirrel.' Groan. Appearing with Moloney will be John Lenahan, a comedy-magician. They will be doing a Hong Kong Comedy Club presentation on October 30 and 31 at the Ritz-Carlton.
Meanwhile, Moorhead has to keep his charges alive for the next few weeks before their arrival here. It may not be easy.
Apparently, Moloney turned up for work yesterday looking a bit rough.
'I got stoned last night,' he complained. 'I told a Palestinian that the West Bank belonged to Israel.' PAUL Mooney of Knight-Ridder contacted me from China yesterday to report on a new financial firm he had discovered in Shaanxi province, called The Risky Investment Co. 'At least they are frank,' he said.
I AM disgusted by the sick new batch of O J jokes which have started to circulate. Such as this one: 'What did O J say to Judge Ito?' 'Can I have my gloves back now?' IT reminds me of the story of the gweipo who stormed up to a lifeguard at Repulse Bay beach, and said: 'Are you the one who saved my little boy?' 'Yes,' replies the lifeguard.
