Just a funny really

[TonyF]

I was out with chums a couple of evenings ago and, as usual, the conversation got round to gardening, my potagers and fruit trees.

I mentioned to the people there that earlier in the day I have been putting sugar water down in the fruit tree.

I assumed that they would know these were wasp traps but no, one of the guys there asked me if that's how the fruit got sweet enough to eat. I asked what he meant and he had assumed that I was pouring the sugar water at the base of the trees to make the fruit sweet. Took me a couple of minutes to explain that it was in jars to attract the wasps which attack the fruit.

Tho I had to wait with the explaination because everybody else in the room had dissolved in laughter but the poor guy was totally perplexed by the whole thing

It's like asking of they run a rotovator over the spud field to get those bags of chips you see in the shops!

I might give that a go round my rhubarb!

Why ask? Everyone knows that it is true.

or your goosegogs!

Reminds me of a dappy friend who I lived with in France (she was English) who once asked me if the reason they only had UHT milk was because they didn't have any cows in France?!? She had never seen any there.

I had a friend visit me here who asked me if my hens were boys or girls, and if the boys ones laid them too
