You wanna be careful of those lampreys. When they ask you how many you want, the correct answer is 'less than a surfeit'. I should keep Malmsey out of your butt, too.

I'll have you know I'm very particular about what I keep in my butt.

It's got to be clean for wine making.

Whenever anybody's stuck something in my butt, it's made me whine....

Travelling in car with friend, driven by her mother. UB40 on radio singing
'Red, Red Wine'.

Back to the original subject of this thread... could someone please remind me to wash David's aardvark for him?

Sounds like an easy job, that, cos (wait for it, wait for it ...) aardvark never hurt anybody .....

I used to be engaged to a chap called Simon Jones (who has since married another Sarah and become Simon Bucher-Jones), and this Simon was once challenged by one of his lecturers to write a fourteen-line poem in which every single line rhymed (at least approximately) with "aardvark". He succeeded. I can't remember all of it, but it started like this:

Consider thou then also the humble aardvark:
He toils not in the fields, nor sets to hard work,
And yet his tongue-flash, like a starr'd dirk,
Fails not to find the ant though it 'neath shard lurk.

David's aardvark, incidentally, came with the house, or to be more precise with the shed. I found it on the window sill of the shed while helping him go through his preliminary check of the premises, but since it had clearly been living in there for a while, it was a bit mucky and cobwebby. So it needs a wash. Less confused now?

Why can't Dave wash his aardvark himself ? He doesn't dissolve in water, does he ?

He's doing all the heavy work. Anyway, you know what his memory is like. You wouldn't want him wandering around with a mucky aardvark, would you?

If the aardvark had a cup size, he'd remember it all right.

Hello Morag...

It's amazing how people stumble in here. You really would think they'd get the floor sorted out so people can stride in purposefully.

I had to go to threaded view to work out what that meant (although I could have guessed it was re a dreadful pun, but I do so many of them ... *beams*)
