What a classic.Taken from The SunMOTORMOUTH Sun man Jeremy Clarkson got slapped in the face yesterday — with a BANANA PIE.
Our 6ft 4ins columnist was splattered by a female environment campaigner.
She and other “greens” tackled Jeremy as he was being awarded an honorary doctorate at Oxford Brookes University in Oxford.
They blasted him for raving about gas-guzzling motors on TVÂ’s Top Gear.
But the 45-year-old took the pasting in his stride.
And last night he went into overdrive to dismiss the flan-flinging fanatics. He said:
"I was at Oxford Brookes University getting an honorary engineering doctorate, which means I am now Dr Clarkson.
So I am dressed up like Henry VIII.
There had been a lot of talk beforehand about a protest being staged — and ten of them turn up.
The protest was something about the environment. One of them got in and lobbed a custard pie.
It was a delicious pie, I ate it all. It saved me a trip to the bakerÂ’s shop.
I am very grateful that I didnÂ’t have to make any lunch.
And at least they didnÂ’t dig my granny up.
You have no idea how much I am going to re-double my efforts in the next series of Top Gear. There will be no more Mr Nice Guy.
There will be no tree, leaf, cloud, lawn, peat bog or environmental precious place that I wonÂ’t drive over.
If they do it again I will start on the foxes.
Millions of people enjoy Top Gear and they are more important than some bird with a pre-menstrual problem.
The pie definitely wasnÂ’t organic. And just think how much jet fuel was used flying the banana over here.
The protester was just some angry bird. But she should be allowed to go lobbing custard pies in the faces of people she doesnÂ’t like.
I behaved better than John Prescott did when a protester threw an egg at him.
I told her it was a great shot and then I told her she had used too much sugar in the mix.
I knew it was going to happen. I even put an old suit on because I knew I was going to get covered in food.
It wasnÂ’t that bad. It was just a little bit of custard around my face. Nothing a flannel couldnÂ’t put right."
