FURTHER USES FOR THE DODO PAD

Finished sheets can be torn out and are especially suitable for making paper

boats, darts, book-markers or tapers for lighting a barbeque. If folded into

eight, a DODO-PAD page comes in handy for wedging up a rickety table or

stuffing onto a shaky sash-window.

The most attractively doodled pages make a personal type of Christmas card.

INSECTICIDE

The DODO-PAD makes an ideal weapon for swatting flies. Held flat on the palm

of the hand, it can also be used as a missile against wasps and mosquitoes on

the ceiling.

The DODO-PAD is so designed that it may be carried in a shopping basket or

kept chained to the telephone (for instructions on how to chain your DODO-PAD

to the telephone see para. on opposite page).

DOODLING

Special facilities have been made in the design of the DODO-PAD

for this essential activity. The DODO-PAD encourages you to doodle

creatively and thereby preserve the covers of telephone directories,

the utility company’s bill, other people’s books, etc. Those normally

inhibited from doodling while they telephone will find suggestive hints

to quicken their imagination on every diary page. A blank, or nearly

blank, space is also provided for this purpose on all facing pages.

HOW TO GET THE BEST FROM YOUR DODO-PAD

“While he was giggling over my DODO-PAD I was able to get dressed and call

the police” (name supplied).

DODO-PAD ALBUMS

If, at the end of a year, you wish to keep what amounts to a unique record of

your, or your family’s conscious and unconscious experience, we supply leather-

bound folders with gold embossed lettering. Prices from £1069.50.

CHRISTMAS AND BIRTHDAYS

Extra pages are provided at the end to facilitate the systematic giving, or

receipt, of presents. And for playing…

THE DODO-PAD GAME

Time can be pleasantly spent, while waiting for a Call Centre to answer, by

imagining yourself as some well-known personality and filling in his or her

engagements. But bear in mind the laws of libel, if your DODO-PAD is liable to

be seen by others outside the family circle.

HOW TO CHAIN YOUR DODO-PAD TO THE TELEPHONE

Any reputable ironmonger will supply you with a length of thin chain. A DODO-

PADLOCK can be obtained from us. Price £799.99, including postage.

DODO-PADDLERS ARE ADVISED TO ORDER THEIR NEXT YEAR’S DODO-

PAD WELL IN ADVANCE TO BE SURE OF SAFE DELIVERY

This window in the private chapel at Dodo

Towers shows St David, usually depicted

with his symbol, the dove. However Lord Dodo's

researches lead him to believe that another, more

unusual, bird should take its rightful place on

the saint's shoulder. He also discovered that St

David, busy with many saintly duties. relied on an

early prototype of the DodoPad to keep him on the

path of righteousness.

oiled in his attempts to snap up an overseas property, (see March 21st and April 20th) Lord Dodo is contenting himself for the time being on remodelling some of the extensive gardens at Dodo Towers. While on a trip to Paris to visit his Gallic sales team, he took time out to visit Versailles, created by The Sun King, to whose grandiose vision his Lordship aspires. Here is a quick sketch he made of Versailles' intricate parterres, suitably adapted for his own country seat...
