This wasn't my favourite at first but it has grown on me. I still think the names one is very funny.
This is my favourite
wish I was flush so I could out bid everybody
but I'm not

so I am guessing it was me and the other veggers who got this something like 4% of the vote when it is by far the funniest one?
i'm all heart, me
If anyone wants to buy me this for Christmas I will allow them to
The last bit was a joke btw.

I voted for names but the Parking Law has swung it for me.
I retract my offer if I can't read parking law on the original.
