#5 "They're bound to think it's some form of mock frog. . . . I must warn you that in future you should delete the words 'crunchy frog', and replace them with the legend 'crunchy raw unboned real dead frog', if you want to avoid prosecution."

#7 "It's absolutely ridiculous. Are they going to start banning Christmas cake because it doesn't have Jesus in it?

Gotta like her gumption. What's next? Girl Scout cookies because they aren't made with real Girl Scouts?

Here's another example. Denmark is a nation absolutely addicted to licorice. In every town of moderate size there are Lakrids Boutiques, which often sell over 100 different types of licorice. In Copenhagen, these same shops will usually have over 200 types on hand. Scandinavian licorice is a pinnacle of the confectioner's art. Unlike the coarse grainy wheat-starch based "vine" licorice we have here in America, Danish licorice is made with gum arabic, various syrups, highly milled starches and flavored with anise extract, licorice root, menthol, eucalyptol, different sugars and, most of all salmiak, the salt of ammonium chloride which gives it the characteristically salty flavor so adored by all Danes.

A few other countries make bulk quantities of salted black licorice. Holland, Germany, Italy, Sweden and Finland produce it, but in nowhere near the same quantities that Denmark does. To give some perspective, here's a statistic:

Danes consume more licorice than chocolate.

In light of such over-concentrated licorice production, the EU has seen fit to demand that Denmark reproportion its output to match that of other European nations. The insanity of this goes beyond comprehension. No other countries even consume anywhere near the same quantities, nor anywhere near the same variety or quality of manufacture. I'm confident that Denmark might well bolt from the EU were such policies strictly enforced. I've yet to hear of any resolution regarding this inane matter.

Let's all remember that it took an EU council years and several million dollars to sort out which countries would produce which crisps (chips). Be it potato, maize (corn), shrimp, vinegar and salt flavour and so forth. This bullshit is a bureaucrat's dream. No heavy lifting all the four star lunches you can eat.

The EU is one of the most parasitic entities to arise since Islam itself. That Muslims find themselves so at home in the EU countries should be a surprise to no one.

#15 I think I dated the winner of the megapussi 300.
She kept asking if I had spotted dick. I ended the date early and made a doctor's appointment.
I don't, I'm fine.
