Breakfast Flunkers

At the risk of hurling stones in a glass house, I list six clues below that push the boundaries of taste and good citizenry.

Answers will appear early next week – so treat this batch as a cryptic workout if you like. And while you’re musing, feel free to rate them for shock-value.

Their order here obeys the alphabet, not taste. Tell us which you think fail the Sunday Breakfast Test (see prior post) or send us a few fabulous flunkers of your own.
