    I find that I can wear the veg, it didn't bother me. but everyone around me complains, I may have found out why;
    1) go to the link @mrchick provided
    2) look down to the related items
    3) check out the fourth item on that list.

    not good for veg fans

    My folks used to tell me about letters Napoleon wrote to Josephine, telling her not to bathe before he returned to her. I have no idea if it's historically accurate, and don't want to find out, but I wonder if she could have bathed all she liked and just splashed on Veg right before he walked in the door.

    Some legends, facts and tall tales get mixed up when it comes to the world of advertising!

    Since it was the UK I'm sure it was the latter. Many years ago as a young engineer working in Stavanger, Norway I was tasked with resolving a punchlist item on a new offshore platform, The item was to add urinal dividers in the men's restroom. I called the architect in Oslo and we spent about 20 minutes going around in confused circles, he thought I was saying journal dividers. When I explained the purpose of a urinal, he said "Oh, you mean your-eye-nal".

    To which, naturally enough, you said, "No, my eye is just fine."

    I like the description.

    "Empty Pinaud Lilac Vegetal plastic bottle, rated to 370ml or 12.5 fl oz ... all used, ready to refill with your favourite eau de urine, be it cat, homeless person or witch so you too can smell like a Napoleonic Cavalryman in his true glory!

    Despite its weight, owing to the physical size of this bottle I have to ask a reasonable contribution for postage, which is set by the carrier - Royal Mail. Conveyed by Napoleonic Cavalryman, it might have been cheaper but there would have been the risk that he might have drunk it en route."

    British humour at it's finest.

    Sounds just like Oslo people. Those guys have no idea how to pronounce english and they are often too full of themselves to know they say the words all wrong.

    Swimmingpool is often svimmingpuul etc

    Now, we on the west coast know we talk funny, we just don't care :)
