You should be writing scripts for Monty Python!!
I always like to get a good lungful of PCBs, CHs, POPS every day. Atrazine is my current favourite.
The "plants are poisons" thing, that recycles every few months, annoys me as much as plastic plants. (There is also "
Herbs are as dangerous as prescription pills" that has a six month cycle).
Being someone interested in herbs
and clinical depression

My best candidate, so far, has been
Hemlock, but even then that has to be prepared in a special way and taken in a special way. Unfortunately, much to my kid's amusement, i killed my Hemlock. "You killed your hemlock!!" they shouted amidst VERY long, and loud, and impolite, guffaws.
How was I to know it did not like lime!!-- and I put the big bag of FREE builders lime that was thrown out for Council Rubbish- next to it. God hates me. She can be a real-- funny ha ha-- bitch at times.

They made me read it when i was trying to pass
English Lit at Uni.
I did meet my wife
--who topped all the bloody courses.--in a
Tragedy Tutorial
-but that is another story.
