It's getting a little furry now, but I don't think you've had it yet so it's got to be your turn.

Oooh, a half rotten tomato

Now to try and find someone to give it to who hasn't already had it, could take a while

I knew you'd appreciate it!

Mmmm, I'd reccomend a quick manouver. You don't want to keep it hanging around for too long!!!

*hands over spare clothes peg*

Sent it to Australia, the smell shouldn't be able to travel that far with any luck

Mind you, it'll be in a terrible state by the time it gets there.

Hmm, I wonder if they'll be any tomato left by then or just a pile of reddish gunk

Sauce!

Are there any empty bottles lying about?

Bound to be one around somewhere

Pass the sauce, I like it

Now there's an idea....

Though there's only one drawback... I no longer have the tomato

Who said there had to be any in sauce? Have you got any food colouring?

Ah, now there's an idea

I've some in the cupboard *fetches it*

Now there are a few pips and mushy bits left over from the . I think if they’re mixed with some cornflour and the colouring we might get a suitably gloopy concoction.

*peers into mixing bowel*

hmmm, seems to have gone a bit pinkish

*rumages through the cupboard*

red, red...... chillies, peppers, paprika..... Now we might have something there.

well, she turned it into pasta sauce, which I thought was an excellant idea

Well I suppose the cooking might have reduced the pong a bit.

Probably still not very edible though. And there was no pasta.

Mmmmm,

*remembers the interesting offering that was on display a few moments ago in the college canteen.*

Are you sure it stayed in Australia?

I'm not sure what happened to it, so maybe you're right to be suspicious
