Why can't I put a worm on my head?

[undercarriage plan]

I don't Know!!!!!

[redimp]

They are simple folk in Suffolk Max, don't read too much into it - they really do need to be told not to put a worm on their heads or they would all be doing it - and carrying frogs around in buckets etc.

I'm glad you understand, Ady, cos we're so busy doing Suffolk clog dances.....and pig plaiting.........we really do need these things pointed out....

[terrace max]

You guys are funny  ;D

Why can't I put a worm on my head?

[redimp]

Because when they fall off and get trodden on it makes an awful mess.
This is a problem at all large gatherings and can be witnessed in the North Stand at Portman Road at the height of worm season.

Max, you put as many worms as you like on your head....I'm sure it is just a myth anyway....really..... in fact, I will send you your own bucket of frogs and enough worms for a whole head.... you go ahead and enjoy yourself.. ::) Anyway, if I told you then I'd have to silence you, is Suffolk Law

Ady, is ok cos everyone lets their frogs go, and they clean up the worm mess....anyway, it distracts from the awful football...

And of course, never put a ferret in a in a teapot..... Posted by: undercarriage plan

Might I enquire why this should be so?  Would it upset the dormouse?

[wardy]

Flowerlady   I knew as soon as this thread started what would happen. I was right!  ;D ;D

[flowerlady]

I know Wardy!  But they've had a lot of fun  ;D ;D ;D

Nevertheless I am sure there is a whole stack of valuable info out there ...

if ONLY they'd come to the party!   ;)

take care

Flowerlady, what on earth would a doormouse be doing in a teapot??  ::) ::) ::)  ;D Goodness sake.....See, you wouldn't listen, now take that worm off your head...

[terrace max]

Why can't she have a worm on her head?

[flowerlady]

Because Alice wouldn't like it !  ::)

[undercarriage plan]

Alice may love a worm on her head....have you asked her..... ::)

[flowerlady]

Yes,  she said worms should sit on magic mushrooms, and that she just wanted to know how to make her garden grow!

[undercarriage plan]

OK, OK...I'll behave..... ::) ;) My neighbour always hurls her old tea onto her Camellia bush, she hasn't a clue why she's doing it, purely cos her gran did, and I have to say, I've never seen one with sooo many blooms on it....though her aim is pretty poorly..... and it's probably more to do with the fact that she has lovely soil, and lots of.....WORMS!! ;D ;D ;D

And just for you, Flowerlady..... :-*

Heard this yesterday

Red sky at night,
Buncefield's alight.

Presumeably goes with

Red sky in the morning
3 minute warning.
