While you weren't looking, I replaced your champagne with ACID! And then I POISONED IT! Yet another failed attempt to off the competition to Mr. Body's fortune...<P>DAMN YOU!!!!<P>Professor "NOT THE DAMN MURDERER! SEE! LOOK AT MY CARD IN MY HAND!" Plum

Well, he could have a crab in his offscreen sandwich, y'know. And really, that would be nearly as unpleasant as having one in his arse (see, I am polite and translatin'!)... well, provided it was a live, whole crab, and not merely crab meat. <P>------------------

Yeah.

Alas! the joke doesn't translate that well to British English, where 'butty' means sandwich. Me have cheese in butty earlier, and feel none the worse for it.<P>(Boy, I'm really playing this 'I'm British and therefore interesting' card for all it's worth. Guv'nor.)<P>------------------

You're very kind. (Even though American English has changed less from its original form over three hundred years than British English, I seem to remember.)<P>A few words of wisdom, though, from Martin Amis:<P>'We are all assholes some of the time, but an arsehole is an arsehole <I>all</I> of the time.'<P>------------------

Of course, if "butty" were cutesy-talk for "butter," then all the humour would cancel itself out! Crabs in butter are just "the norm" as one might put it.<P>Bob "That's a sticky wicket!" Scott<P>------------------
