Entry for May 01, 2007

One of my colleagues cut herself rather badly today removing the stone from an avocado. There was blood, and for a short time a trip to casualty was not out of the question. Now there's a middle class injury for you - avocado related injuries. Presumably there's a casualty department in Kelvinside where they are experts in that form of injury.
"Quick Jemima, I need two litres of saline and an IV right now - it's another exotic fruit incident."
"Oh my God. Not another mango Quentin?"
"Worse than that."
"Star anis?"
"Nope - it's an avocado."
"No! No! But she's so young. Why do they experiment with tropical fruit? Don't they realise they're dicing with death?"
"Get a grip of yourself! Now - everyone - CLEAR!!!"
