Problems with your bowel?
Makes you wonder what else we could make it come up with. Hmm. I'd rather like to go Llama trekking in the Appalachia. While I'm there i might decide to make my own jam. I might get a cheap luxury watch to bring home with me. (on a low budget airline of course)
Certainly don't want to mention prescription medicines - that'd give Google a field day...

I can only assume that Google, in it's ineffable wisdom, has picked up on the fact that Satan has a face on his bottom and it makes him rather irritable.Makes you wonder what else we could make it come up with.

Which came first, orange or the orange?
Do you suppose an orange is so named due to its orangey hue, or was the colour orange given its name in recognition of the fruit to which it bears such a striking resemblance?
'tis a most perplexing mystery.
An orange.
Some orange.
The subject of orange foodstuffs brings me cunningly on to the humble carrot. Which shouldn't be orange. It should be, and originally was, black, yellow, red, purple and a veritable plethora of other weird and wonderful colours.
Our now sadly depleted carrot choice is thanks alone to 16th century Dutch farmers, who took it upon themselves to honour their monarchy, the house of Orange, by selectively breeding the yellow and red varieties of carrot commonly available at the time. Little did they know that by presenting their king with an appropriately coloured tuber they would sound the death-knell for worldwide carrot diversity.
It's a lucky thing the colour orange wasn't named after carrots or the whole world would be plunged into confusion.

FABULOUS FREE GIFT!
I ordered some keyrings for a client. The courier has just delivered them. I opened the package to find a small box with 'Mystery free gift' stamped in red letters on it. A slight tumescence began to surge through my happy glands. A free gift. What could it be? It's only a small box but...eagerly I reached for a scalpel. Like a battlefield surgeon I trembled with adrenaline but my cutting hand was steady as a rock. Don't want to damage my free gift. What could it be? Got to get the box open...
...and here, ladies and gentlemen, is my free gift:
A BT ADSL filter. I had hoped for an apple core. But hey! a free gift's a free gift. Thank you, keyring people. I'm touched.

They think of everything.
This...
...is a left-handed fish slice.
Apparently the difference is in the shape of the blade.
If you don't believe me, have a look here.
