Cravings for Pringles Crisps

The idea being that I obviously dip the Pringles in the... er... dip, and then eat them

Thanks for that surprising and helpful instruction, Highness.

I had to say that. For all I know, there might be someone with a 'Special Interest' in buying Pringles just to look at them and not eat them. For all I know, they might have a room crammed full of unopened Pringles that have gone out of date.

That reminds me of one of my all time favourite jokes which always makes me chuckle:

Patient: Doctor, doctor, my family thinks I'm mad.

Doctor: And why is that?

P: Because I like sausages.

Dr: But I like sausages too.

P: You do? You must come and see my collection - I have thousands!

I like to imagine the chap proudly showing off drawer after drawer of various different sausages all carefully pinned to boards and labelled, like those Victorian collections of butterflies!

How did they collect so many? I suppose it is cold there

Sausages are intrinsically funny it’s true. Even the word. I just thought of a song that made me laugh when I was a child. It ended with the lyric ‘a flying sausage hit a crow, in the good old town of Belfast’ and I’d be laughing like a drain at that. The flying sausage in the Grange Hill title sequence was a joy too. 

Plead the fifth amendment!

Oh. My. Goodness! I am saying absolutely nothing now. I just daren't risk it.

I think you may be digging a deeper hole.

That would make more sense, and is nearly as ridiculous a mental picture. I still like the pinned image though, maybe it reminds me of those little sausages on cocktail stick? Maybe he dries them first, though that would make them shrivelled...

Speaking of male members though, I wonder if his collection might look similar to the penis museum in Iceland? That does add another, if gruesome, layer to the humour. I don't think that was ever a part of why I find it so funny though, I think it is more simply the silliness, and the word sausages is also intrinsically amusing, and I was an innocent child when I first came across the joke.
