I love the Tabasco one, it's fabulous. It makes me think of an egg timer on a go slow.

Pat said...

Anna: that's the funniest thing I've heard all day:)

Kim Ayres said...

Ah there's some great ones there - Tabasco, Erotica and Intellectual especially :)

Pat said...

Jade: I had coffee with a friend last week who has two brainless whippets. I once went for a walk with them and they just run through you at high speed - highly dangerous for her frailty now. Sometimes she drives them to the golf club and then returns, without taking them for a walk in the hope they will think they have had one - and it works.

Z: you have to have a screw loose - like me - to understand what she meant:)

Savannah: happy to oblige;)

Kim: you sexy egg head you! I'm on my second angostura bitters. Does that count?

This has cheered me up! I like the Allende one best I nearly sprayed my keyboard with tea, even though I've heard it before.

Kanani said...

I love the Tabasco one and also Isabel Allende's take. Oh, they're all good!

Pat said...

Judy: praise indeed:)

Granny.p: not as ball-breakingly cold as here I'll bet.

Eryl: it's the way I tell 'em!
