One of the Google results I spotted while searching for something:

Rocky Mountain News: First-time Novelists

... Author's background: Jasper Fforde, a resident of Wales, is ... a go-go dancer, and a numbers runner, and ...

Amazing what you find on the web, isn't it?

I'm suspicious. There wouldn't be a sentence or fifty elided from that passage, would there?

Well, presumably, as that's what Google does to provide the summaries, and I was chasing something entirely different so didn't bother checking...

Anyway, I can't see our Panjandrum as a go-go dancer ... that's surely more J K Rowling. Numbers runner, yes.

You don't put fishnets on your ears. Well, not normally, anyway.

Did a google search on 'Jasper Fforde go-go dancer' and got a slightly different synopsis of the same website, which parses equally well:

Rocky Mountain News: First-time Novelists

Do you think we could get Jasper to demonstrate his go-go dancing in Leeds ? Perhaps after enough beer (All contributions considered)

Sounds like the opening line to a joke. Where's that vicar and his towel?
