mint Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 Yes, Pickles, the mention of "gallon" makes me think it must be a very old joke indeed.Still, even old chestnuts can be funny when they catch your funny bone. In a bloodthirsty moment, I had visions of MPs being doused in petrol, even if not set alight![:@] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
