A guy went into a French seafood restaurant and asked to see the
dishes of the day. The waiter wheeled over a trolley with a large tank
full of various species, and the man examined the dishes.

"I'll have the little green squid with the hairy lip, please" said
the man. "An excellent choice, they have a delicate, mild flavour."
replied the waiter and called out "Gervais!"

A little French chef appeared with a large knife, the waiter
instructed the chef to kill the little green squid with the hairy lip.
Gervais was just about to slice at the poor squid when he noticed a tear
running down its face. Gervais is touched, and admitted that he hadn't
the heart to kill the squid.

"Not to worry" says the waiter, and called out "Hans!!" at which an
enormous German bloke came out of the kitchen. "Sir", said the waiter,
"This is Hans, the dishwasher. Hans kill that little green squid with
the hairy lip!"

The dishwasher wielded a huge rolling pin and was just about to
bludgeon the little green squid with the hairy lip when it cringed back
and gave a little cry. "I am sorry sir, I just cannot kill the squid"
Hans admitted, his lower lip trembling.

"Well sir," said the waiter, "it just shows......


That Hans that do dishes, can be soft as Gervais, with mild green,
hairy lipped squid!"

Groan. (Secret chuckle ) and why do we sing it??? I didn't even have a TV in those days but I still knew it. ... I reckon it was a conspiracy to make women do the washing up. We have all been indoctrinated! Just like the

Nuts! .....whole hazel nuts! Cadburys take them, and cover them in chocolate. Jingle

Or ...ppppppick up a penguin.

How come all the ones I remember are to do with chocolate? ?????

oh dear, what really surprised me was it only took the first five words of the last paragraph for me to start singing - I must be getting old !
since we seem to have an audience "of a certain age" here, how about the wonderful Smash robots (go on - confess if you're singing the slogan...)
