For the childish minds amongst us, Friday’s World Grand Prix snooker was a real treat.
One of the quarter finals saw Hong Kong’s Marco Fu take on Mark King of England for a spot in the semi-final, making the score card for the match look a little bit like Bo’ Selecta Mel B’s favourite swear word.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, plenty were quick to pick up on this, with some unapologetically admitting that they’d waited a long time for such a match up to take place…
🎱 I know its childish but do you know how long I've waited for Marco Fu to play King again? Fu-King good match 😉#snooker#JokeoftheDay

And maximum respect to Shanners here, who went to the trouble of encircling the two players’ names just to make sure nobody missed it.

Elsewhere, there were puns a plenty…

Not that you’re too bothered by the result (and just to increase this article’s word count a little bit) Marco Fu was victorious, his 4-2 victory enough to see him face Ryan Day in the semi-finals.
