haiku's are easy
but sometimes they don't make sense
water-diviner

My wallet almost empty.
Spray starch is cheaper

Mannie! What brand of spray starch??

Maureen I was a bit worried about the starch thing too!

FABU[LOUS]

Did you mean FABULON perhaps Sue? - Are you sure? Think it's on special at Woolies this week - sales will go through the roof and they will never know why

Found this on one of their sites

It's Iron free. The spray you spray on wrinkles and you run your hands through it and it goes straight. Has anyone tried it yet? Does it work? I'm a bit reluctant to, but then i don't always wanna iron all the time. If it does work it will be great for when your in a hurry!!


Perhaps we could have them add an endorsement to their product along the lines of

This product is personally endorsed by Manfred - President of ABPA. He is renowned for being a straight shooter and a fine upstanding man.

Thanks Maureen - that confused me too! I don't buy starch so wasn't too sure if it was a brand or not.

Thats exactly what I meant Maureen , dont you ever iron Heather, I have a can in the cupboard thats nozzle has dried up. Obviously doesn't get used enough.

Cheers
Better go do the ironing

Sue! You had to remind me of the ironing pile I might get to some of it today - maybe. I think I may have an old can too - somewhere - right at the back of the cupboard. We could send our unused cans to Manfred!

The main problem with the haiku ( I've been told ) is that it was designed to employ the natural rhythms and feeling of an Asian language. English doesn't really do the job because it doesn't have the same " music " as Japanese..
