Eeyores don't like Acorns but Wood Ducks like themmashed

["michael hunter" <>]

Hi Val.
           If you do find a dead Woody among the acorns, throw it in the
oven. If it tastes as good as acorn-fed bacon you'll  have a taste sensation
on your plate.
           Wombats would be a different matter. Has anyone sampled them?



(Only joking folks !!! Relax!!!)


                                                    Cheers
                                                           Michael
