Guest StuCotts Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 It emerges that the worst thing about mayonnaise in the summer is its bad press. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/01/health/0...html?ref=health P.S. to the interested: La maionese scolpata, just-rediscovered opera by Haydn, unheard since its only performance at an Esterhazy picnic in 1770. Acclaimed at the time for the showcase aria "L'uovo non fa male" performed by the castrato Pallespente. Quote

I assume that you, as I am, are remembering the brittler high school wags in French 1 who used to translate that as The Beef on the Twat, amid convulsive giggles. So worldly! Quote
