That's what happens when guys pee on the compost pile. Too many male hormones get into the soil.

The universe has sent you a message, CarolC (is that what the C stands for?), wisdome that you have been ignoring from other sauces..


"Remember, William," says Sir Hugh Evans, "Focative is Caret," "and that" replies Mrs. Quickly, "is a good root." (from Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor (IV:1))


"The man in the moon drinks claret,
But he is a dull Jack-a-dandy;
Would he know a sheep's head from a Carrot
He should learn to drink cider and brandy."
(Song of Mad Tom in _Midsummer Night's Dream)


An old Polish saying " If your husband is old and weak you must have him to drink the juice from two big carrots and one firm celery."

have you got a juice extractor?

Isn't there a song -
"And it's oh dear me, how would it be
If I die an old maid in a garret"

that has the last line
"If I can't have a man, I'd rather have a carrot"

Now I know why!

Geez.....the mind boggles......

JennieG, that's the rude Oz version. We polite Scots sing parrot, not carrot!

All these years I have been labouring under a misap...under a mis....a parrot?? What can one do with a parrot that one can't do with a carrot?

Don't answer that!

Uh Oh, I think we're heading towards Robbie Burns...I bet he had a poem of two in his desk about parrots. Trust the Scots, eh Jennie! ;0)

NOW I know why Scotsmen wear kilts! It's to hide their parrots! :0)

No, it's because sheep take fright at the sound of a zip.

The difference between a carrot and a parrot? You can talk to either, but the carrot won't answer back.
So take your pick.

what Googling that tells ME is how many people can't spell....and don't care to learn.

Google does highlight how many words which are innocuous in one language are naughty in another.
