ha ha - no!!!!!!!!!

As I suspect you know full well, this is the setup line for a well-known Natural History joke. I thought it would be nice to give my witty, erudite and indeed knowledgeable co-forumites the chance to do the punchline. Cos I'm nice :)

(and because I did see one of these at the weekend)

I say! Badoom-tisch ... etc! Well played*.

(finally ... this has turned out more like Mornington Crescent. Now there's a good idea for the next 10 pages of this thread ...)

Talking of animals, we went to the zoo at the weekend.
In one enclosure there was a baguette, apparently it was bred in captivity. In the other enclosure there was a dog; it was a Shih Tzu

The stoat is a hedge fund billionaire, the weasel a narcissistic bimbo.
