i just had to post this one as it may generate a flurry of merry comments. The enamel text on the bottle reads "Gruss aus Hameln".

Chanel No 5 in the original bottle...

Nice piece of resource for a teacher ...mmm maybe they don't teach that anymore as it's too scary.
I like it ;D

Kane - you got there before me! C. no.5 must be the most revolting "perfume" there is - I'd rather real sewage - no kidding - I used to analyse sewage professionally. :tsk:
Is it actually a pongy thing, Ivo - or does it contain some sort of drink?
-
I'm a bit reluctant to open it but it has glitters in it so I assume it is for drinking. I guess it would taste like rat piff whatever it is....

Don't let the moderators move it to the Cafe - we would be closed down. :24: :24: :24:

Rat piff is in sewage, but I'm familiar with the pure stuff - I used to work with rats as well, but in a different job.
I suppose which honk is worse really depends on the quantity. :tsk:

There's a really bad English slang word for this and it means you are very drunk but i'm afraid i can't say it on here as it's very censored. Two words and it starts with rat ..... :no:

Rats (not the ones which are wild, I don't suppose) are actually rather nice beasts, very highly intelligent and inquisitive. They like being scratched behind their ears. I'm horribly allergic to them.
They caused a lot of trouble in labs for tobacco/nicotine researchers - rats refuse, point blank, to smoke.
(I said they were smart).
When researchers tried putting rats in boxes which had a tube introducing tobacco smoke to them, every single rat promptly poo-ed, picked up the poo, and shoved it into the tube to block it. That's even smarter, isn't it?
:smg:

One in the eye for all those silly fluffy bunnies and chainsmoking beagels!

Addictive personalities those Beagles. The bunnies are just plain bad.

Actually, it's because beagles have higher cognitive abilities than rats/rodents that they do smoke.
Chimpanzees will smoke cigarettes voluntarily. :huh:
The higher one's cognitive abilities, the more addictive smoking is. Nicotine itself actually isn't highly addictive at all. There are monoamine oxidase inhibitors in tobacco smoke, among thousands of other horrid chemicals, and altogether, cigarette smoking enables the smoker to see the world through slightly rose-tinted glasses - that's why it's the poor and those with mental health difficulties smoke so much more than the rich and the well.
(Schizophrenia is a different kettle of fish - most smoke 80-100 fags a day - they are decidedly self-medicating, in a way not yet understood.)
(Ref. Informal lecture given by Prof. David Balfour just last April - he's a world authority in nicotine research.)
