What kind of ants totally spoil your picnic when they run all over the cakes? Elephants! There''s no room here for one of my longer ones, but long or short, the entire A-Z of jokes in my Joketionary are guaranteed to be Boomin'' Marvelous

Did you know that it is actually possible to become addicted to curry? The average Chicken Tikka Masala brings ''an increase in blood pressure and heart rate that is similar to sexual arousal.''
