This is a bit of light relief and not intended as a serious article.

There's nothing wrong with footnotes within footnotes; I've seen a few Edited Guide entries which have them.
What do you intend to do with this? If you're not putting it in the Edited Guide, what are you going to do with it?

While it's entertaining, you state in the Entry that this isn't a serious candidate for the Edited Guide so could you please remove this from the Edited Guide Writing Workshop?

I intend to have a laugh and share it with people!
Footnotes in footnotes maybe ok but it's not best practice.

Having a laugh and sharing is fine... but surely that purpose would be better served by the Under Guide?

Go here my good man Writing-Alternative
(Click on your Submit for Review button and submit to the AWW, there the UnderGuide Miners will peruse it, make suggestions and before long it'll probably end up on the Front Page as an UnderGuide Entry )
