Do not make the mistake of thinking that because my conclusion is the same as another person's that my reasoning is the same
Last one for a while. You've heard Prince Charles was alledged to be involved in something so scandalous that it was denied without even being specified. Neil Gaiman was kind enough to give more details on what didn't happen:
a) the goat was not, in fact, Spanish, but Portuguese, and is currently living safely in a wildlife preserve in East Molesey.
b) The Tango is a dance made famous in Argentina. "Erotic licking" plays no part in the Tango. Neither, of course, do balloons.
c) only a lunatic would apply shoe-polish to a weasel.
d) if the alleged incidents had in fact occurred in broad daylight during a car-boot sale in Harrow then there would be photographs, and quite possibly a plaster cast.
e) by now the "Use by" stamps on the yoghurt would have expired, indicating it as unfit for human consumption.
