Listening to John Key does anyone else get the feeling that he's constantly getting caught out by his need to crack funny. I'm sure (his attempts) at deadpan wit served him well in big trouser corporate land but not he's a politician it feels like his undoing. You can just imagine his inner dialog seconds after he said "a personal jet'...

"That was pretty funny...oh shit, no one knows I'm joking again...oh shit there is truth in humour...oh shit, abort joke, abort joke!!"
