Perhaps Williams was referring to the recent study by L.M. Muffet,
Ph.D., the leading authority on... curdz and whey.

If not familiar with her body of work, you really should seek her out.
She's still at Tuffet University, iirc.

Au contraire mon ami, she has been frightened away by an odious

this post is proof that he at least has a grasp and can execute humour
flawlessly.

He'd rather be raped by a hippopotamus.

But once again dear Axel, in your befuddled brain, you fail to pick up

I suspect that it is you who looks the fool, in failing to see the

date post! ;o)

You have the ability to be quite entertaining when the mood takes you
John Williams - which isn't very often.

However, as the Mafia movies have it, I just enjoy "bustin ya balls."

Er... no John, that's not true, and it certainly doesn't rate as "ball
breaking" humour either. ;o)
