If you added capers, mustard and a splash of Worcestershire sauce you'd have a better hors d'oeuvre

Ah!
Thanks for that!
People of Commonwealth-origin kept telling me that it was *perverted* uuuhhh!

There are only a few receipes that couldn't be improved... like a frozen 4-kinds-of-cheese-pizza can do with two more kings and layers of cheese, IMO.

I think the 4 cheese pizzas would be just fine if they put enough cheese on them to start with rather than leaving the consumer needing a gas chromatogram to detect those few molecules of Monterey Jack.

I dunno about perverts, but 'sad' would definately apply to anyone, had you not written JOKE, who thought that was not a joke.

Ah, but just as with 'pervert', 'sad' is a relative term. What might seem sad to you may be the height of chic to someone in the thrill-packed world of accountancy.

Arrgggh! Cheese... it's just milk that's gone off and then subsequently been cunningly packaged.

Not too fond of pizza either, since throwing up over my best friend's carpet when I was thirteen after eating the offending foodstuff. Okay, so it was actually food poisoning from dodgy oysters (which I don't much like either), but the association remains.

Yes, accountants. Still- better than statisticians.
Not wishing to deprive you of your recipe musings, but there's insufficient pervery going on. Let's go out and corrupt something.

Blimey, this has moved on a bit since I was last here. Not much perviness to talk about, just bookmarking really.

Let me make some up... having a stand up row with my neighbour after arguing with his wife all day, and still thinking 'hmmm tasty, what wild things I could do to you. '. Pervy?

Hoho.
Or maybe you're just very forgiving.

Or just very randy?

That too.

Damn it. Much as I hate maths, I must contest the inferiority of statisticians to accountants. At least statisticians can work on interesting things for the sake of interest. Accountants just manipulate figures to make people richer.

Starting a coherent argument on whether accounting is better than statistics is perverted!

I've the feeling that the ones involved in this thread are too open-minded to find things readily pervy. Maybe we sould move this discussion over to a thread with more religious/moral fundamentalists?

Just coming out of lurkerdom to vote with St Emily on that one.

Note: I'm not a statistician (or an accountant) - just a non-partisan observer.

Thank you, weakpun - I said that because I am acquainted with a stats teacher who is distinctly... shall we say...

Ah, you have an ulterior motive...

No, no! Not like that! I've just finished my A-levels and he was the young stats teacher who one of my friends vehemently denied fancying...

No, that's fine, no need to get defensive . I'm sure your, uh, "friend" has very good taste in young stats teachers, and fancying them isn't TOO perverted...

Yeah! Even a would be nice.

The idea of a smiley seems to have eluded corporate imaginations as well.

~jwf~ colonial boob, wondering why someone from England would go to Germany to study law, or, worse, feeling awful for assuming Tube was English (and therefore a chronic Pythonite), and, hoping that an education in the international marine cargoes is not a euphemism for smuggling and that no 'tramp' steamers are involved. (That's as perverse as I can get today, sorry.)
