Needless to say, the marriage ended in divorce. Indeed, she decamped to Oz, taking 2 of the 3 nippers.

P.S. He also tried to demonstrate that an ordinary hen's egg was a marvel of engineering that could withstand immense pressure, if exerted from pole to pole, as it were. Squeezed it between his finger and thumb and -- yep ...

Putting tape on the bottom of their feet and watching them try to walk is a harmless yet extremely entertaining experiment.
ReplyDeleteI knew a guy who would put mustard up a cat's hole to watch it go mad with pain, a strange guy, ginger headed quite mad.
