Hoppo Bumpo (n): A children's game. Played by folding one's arms and hopping on one leg. Aim is to bump opponents, so that they lose their balance. Last person standing wins.
What a relief. Frankly there's nothing more disappointing than finding your cookie is made of imaginary ingredients. (Though it does help if you are counting those calories).
Gotta love those signs. I saw one on the motorway just now en route home from the airport, it said "Highways staff get injured while picking up your litter."
Well? Would it not seem reasonable then not to make them pick it up???
My other favourite (and my kids have been corrupted to mock these ads) is the Pampers advert showing that by buying their nappies for your chubby blonde baby in a Western middle-class white set-up you also purchase 'X' vaccines to help children in a less-Western middle-class white set-up. Or as ithas become known in our house 'Buy the nappies or the baby gets it!'
LOL thank you I needed that laugh!
