Kim finds a dirty Bassett
By ALASTAIR TAYLOR
A MUM chewing a packet of wine gums was left open-mouthed after finding one shaped like a bloke holding his WILLY.
Kim Bailey, 37, checked out the cheeky chappie and found he had a big grin on his face...and PLENTY to smile about.
She immediately nicknamed him Dirty Bassett after the makers? famous liquorice man symbol Bertie Bassett ? featured on the wine gum packet.
But she moaned: ?I am divorced and have been celibate for three years. Just my luck that the first naked fella I find has the consistency of jelly.?
Kim, of Knottingley, West Yorks, bought the packet as a treat for herself and children Ryan, 12, Connor, nine, and Kay, six.
The rude red sweet, about 1?ins long, stood out a mile amid the usual rectangular, triangular and round gums.
Kim said: ?I love wine gums and was really tucking in. You get them in all sorts of shapes but I never thought I would see one like that.
?It seemed bigger than the others and as I turned it round I realised it was a perfectly formed man.
?He has got a belly button, nipples, his hand on his privates ? and a big, big smile on his face.?
Kim rang Bassett?s to tell them about the naughty nibble. She said: ?They were amazed and a little baffled.
?I suspect someone was having a lark at the factory. And Dirty Bassett has certainly raised a few smiles.?
A Bassett?s spokesman said: ?It sounds like a manufacturing quirk. I can assure you our gums are not normally shaped like that.
?We make millions every year and it looks as though something bizarre has happened during the process.
If the sweet and pack are sent to us we will investigate.?
