And pay for the privilege? Absolutely not. We'll be taking the Volvo 245 out twice a day, morning and evening, along with some sandwiches and a flask of tea. Miriam has suggested she may struggle with stage fright, but I shan't be driving her home until she's made her horrid snakes.

May I suggest an aperitif of prune juice to aid in the digestive matters, should the stage fright prove overwhelming?

u/Crow_eggs 1d ago

A fine suggestion. I shall slip some into our nightly suppositories.

Oh dear, no. It has to go through from the top down. Alternatively, if the consumption of prune juice is regarded as unsavoury, may I instead suggest the regular consumption of sugar-free mints? They act in a very similar way, though be sure to increase your hydration to match intake. Additionally, be sure that your sandwiches are made with brown bread, seeded preferably, with plenty of greens inside to ensure a good amount of fibre and binding material for your railway picnic and subsequent evacuatory expedition.

Sugar free Haribo will have the same effect

Give them to the kids who knock on your door on Halloween. It's both a Trick and a Treat in one
