A 'donkey up a minaret' is a euphimism (sic) term similar in meaning to 'a bun in the oven'in the eastern Mediterranean region

<Recalls "Jingo" by Terry Pratchett, where persuading a donkey to descend from a minaret (or similar) made an important plot point.>

<Wonders why all picnics have to end up with the whole Donkey up the Minaret debacle and exactly what the Donkey thinks of it.>
< Passes the carrot batons.>

<passes the carrot batons further>

<realises that minaret has special donkey instruction plaque>

<Hopes no-one under donkey mistakes it for a piņata.>

<suspects beating a real donkey with a stick will make it both angry anf frightened>

<on reflection hopes that anyone trying to beat piņata with a stick get what they deserve>

< Recalls seeing large elephant shaped speckled pinata somewhere in the Treehouse. Sets of on exciting pinata hunt armed only with a carrot baton and hope.>

<passes carrot baton further still>

<is reminded of the big arse piņata in The Family Guy>

<ends up with carrot baton AGAIN>

<passes it on>

<ducks under pop culture reference>

<looks in bewilderment at carrot baton which has somehow been thrust into grasp>

<bewilderment increases as small, grey furry animal snatches carrot baton, makes characteristic cry sounding somewhat like "Watts aarrp, dock," then hops away.>

Is a carrot baton orange?

If so we shouldn't see the like of it again until 26 or 27 April.
