A pirate and his parrot were adrift in a lifeboat following a dramatic escape from battle. While rummaging through the boat's provisions, the pirate stumbled across an old lamp. Secretly hoping that a Genie would appear, he rubbed the lamp vigorously. To the amazement of the castaways, a Genie came forth. This particular Genie, however, stated that he could only deliver one wish, not the standard three. Without giving any thought to the matter the pirate blurted out, "Make the entire ocean into rum!" The Genie clapped his hands, and immediately the entire sea turned into the finest rum ever sampled by mortals. Simultaneously, the Genie vanished. Only the gentle lapping of rum on the hull broke the stillness as the two considered their circumstances. The parrot looked disgustedly at the pirate and after a tension-filled moment spoke: "Now yee've done it!! Now we're goon to have to pee in the boat!"
I have just eaten a Fox's Classic bar. It's a small chocolate bar which came from a packet of six. My parents bought it because it was on special offer (OSO in our family).
It's covered in chocolate, naturally. The bar part consists of two layers of something akin to Hob Nobs with a thin layer of cream inside. I'm not sure if Hob Nobs are available in the US - they're oaty biscuits which are slightly sweet.
