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

hahahaha Too funny - but don't take it into the blue-haired ladies' tea. (Actually, they above all others would probably laugh the hardest.)

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?

So I fed him the carrot and celery juice... what does it do and when will it start working?

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!

You mean there are other words???

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.

'Tis a good job Mae West never went to Scotland..

"Hey, is that a parrot in your pocket, or are you just pleased to see me!"

Oh dearie, the places Naughty Carrots lead you... :0) LOL

This is what Scotsmen keep under their kilts Lizzie.

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.
