Why? Is it nasty in some way? (I'm not taking the ****, I'm just
curious).


Generally speaking things that have bright colours either taste very
nasty, are toxic or both. Hairy caterpillars tend to have toxins in/on
the hairs and/or leave tiny but very sharp bits of hair in your skin that
irritate something rotten. How ever there are some things that mimic the
nasties... best not take the risk unless you know.

Don't kids learn this these days? It's basic survival stuff...

Yes- I remember dropping something like this in to the hair of my
mother-in-law many years ago. It was the same stay that I mixed a good
dose of laxative chocolate stuff into her ice cream: I remember the
fall out very well.

I won't say what it reminded me of, except to say that it's a
bit small.

So you finally succumbed to those enlargement adverts. Which causes me to
wonder: Does circumcision have it's draw backs?

You may be barmy, Lawrence, but you have a life outside weather,
which is good to know.
