The Peanuts may contain nuts warning is actually quite sensible, as it is not usually peanuts which cause anaphylaxia, as they do not contain the right compounds, but the traces of other nights which do contain these compunds with which the peanuts inevitably become contaminated when being packed in a nut processing plant.
You see.
Chainsaws and genitals though???

Let's hope Mr Mungo Knob gag is not around, I am sure he would have something to add to this. (OK, I would normally too, but am in hiding from Ted in case he disconnects me.) I will try and save the jokes for the Sean C thread.
