Cryptic Stuff

While it was done some years ago I see, I thought I would try a cryptic crossword-like thread for fun and to try and boost a little more interest here. I made up the below question for anyone interested in such a challenge. I thought the first person to get it correct might come up with the next question. A clue though - if you copy one from a newspaper or magazine etc., the answer can often be found on the internet. I can explain the answer for anyone who asks. ๐Ÿ™‚

 

The prisoner at the cave would not stand for the electrically charged droplets of water.

I guffawed (in a ladylike way).

 

No... not farcical. It's more obvious than that!

Re: Cryptic Stuff

The last bit is one.

 

That is, it's an example of the thing itself.

It's been announced - [indicator:homophone]

 

 

 

... and the last bit is a bit of a play on the old "Is that a gun in your pocket or are you pleased to see me?" spiel. What sort of spiel is it again...?

Re: Cryptic Stuff

It's been announced: insert into rectum, shocked expression! Is that an underlying bit of naughtiness, or are you pleased to see me? (8)
