Yuck!! To the third degree. Sad that could even remotely happen. I found this one unusual to say the least. Thanks for dropping by my page. This one reads like a good contender to me for the contest. I hope she is looking for uniquely yucky works. Sara

I thought you were going to end this one with a curry Tom, and I wasn’t looking forward to it, serves Fred Murrey right for not keeping his pipes clean, brilliant one for the contest, cheers David

Tom Cunningham
Date: 11/6/2022 3:21:00 AM

Lol thanks David, pity we were only restricted to just one, curry would have fitted in nicely. Tom

Quite funny though not for poor Murrey.

Tom Cunningham
Date: 11/6/2022 12:35:00 AM
