How would you feel, Sharon, if you had to explain a stupid joke based upon two different meanings of the same string of phonemes in two languages with an explanation that is in the very least ten times as long as the joke?

Fibula did allude to the song 'Cod liver oil and the orange juice' in her last post, a song made know by the late Hamish Imlach. 'Hamish' sounds similar to the German word 'hämisch' which in English means 'maliciously' and so on...
