Some people will eat anything, Being Serious now, in 1949 whilst doing national service I was posted to Salonica Greece, the Greek nation was still suffering from the German invasion, just below where we were billeted there was a group of housing and often children from there would come to our rubbish bins looking for food, and I vowed that if children had to come to this I would never leave food on my plate again, the only time this has been broken is when I have been out for a meal and some green leaves interfered with my medication.

Dennis R's Morning Pun. Why is the sky so high? So birds will not bang their heads.
