The demon in a can
New Zealander Wendy McMahon got a shock when she opened a tin of budget pears
I wonder if she will economise on tinned fruit in future....
Looks like a damned smiley to me. Heck and Feck, they get everywhere, Cans of pears, Mars, windmills. Good god, me and the faithful Seanso have taken on an awesome task (and some may wonder what the heck this comment is all about... which is as it should be, in this meaningless mad world.)
you said: "It was this or in depth political analysis...."
ReplyDelete:):):)
"This" was a good choice!
I think someone got totally hammered one night at the factory where they pack these pears and wanted to make statement... don't ask me what statement?
It was a good choice! As to what the the statement was I will bow to anyone's better judgement

ReplyDeleteI actually went to school with a Wendy McMahon in New Zealand..... wonder if it's the same one?
ReplyDeletePerhaps I will lay of the pears for a while!
ReplyDeleteI just saw this "satanic slice of fruit" on BoingBoing and thought of you, Jams, but you're way ahead of me!
ReplyDeleteDemonic face indeed. Whether it was a happy accident or a harmless bit of mischief, I'm amazed that people get so worked up so easily.
You never know Nurse M it could be her
