Both funny Limerick and picture bring suggestive thoughts to mind, Jan! I played this game in Paris with some elderly pensioners, and they kept changing the rules...I stood no chance of winning!! Hugs // paul

Disgusted, her competitors quit, Jools whined like child, pitched a fit, she picked up her balls, which started a brawl, Then got her ass kicked lickety split:), I tried to keep it clean:)
