Clear Warning

Stan was one of those insensitive blokes, who gorged on Jerusalem artichokes, when gas formed in his gut, he thanked God for a butt... now the entire USA gags and chokes.

G'day Kim... I'm not sure what gas it is Kim, but if you overindulge there's a bloody lot of it - thanks again for your support Kim - Lindsay

Hello Andrea... I'm pleased that got a giggle out of this bit of nonsense, although its partially truthful nonsense - Lindsay

Both limerick and artichokes are delightful, Lindsay! All in moderation says the sage poet:) // paul

G'day Paul... when you say artichokes are delightful, I agree. I do enjoy both; the Mediterranean thistle and the American sunflower tuber. It's the tuber that causes problems - thank you Paul - Lindsay

I have a similar issue with Brussels sprouts, much to my good lady's chagrin. You can't miss her- she's sitting at the bottom of the garden. great Lim, Lindsay. Regards, Viv

G'day Viv... unfortunately Viv, overindulging on these little beauties will see you having issues with the entire neighbourhood. Thanks again mate - Lindsay
