Medical researchers have now turned to using lawyers instead of laboratory rats for their tests, for two reasons :
a) the researchers don't become quite so attached to the lawyers.
b) there are some things that even a rat won't do.
(from 'HOOK' ) ...so ...what's your favourite pirate film Capting
??

Hi there eveyone! I have not been here for the longest time so thought I should drop by!
Alec I brought fresh supplies of 
for you and some Anna Kornikova toast too - there should be just about enough to go round!

Harry !!!
A Very Merry Christmas to you and your tribe...
The talkie toaster caught a rather virulent virus as soon as we hooked it up to the CAT5 cable, so now when it's feeling uppity, instead of outputting some good, wholesome toast, out comes its rendition of Ms K...with large racquets...

Season's Greetings all round ... and I'll try the house punch. Is it cabinet sauvignon based? 
The Generator Room
Alec Trician. (is keeping perfectly still) Posted Dec 27, 2002
...er not exactly kes,
it's more sort of steel cabinet-based, with serious heavy duty wheels,
and lots of mangoes.
*rolls steel punch cabinet around a bit to show how manoeuverable it is*
Here you are kes:
