And the otter? Yes, it is : OTTERLY different. This (brilliant) joke has been in my family for at least 5 generations. Well, when I say 'brilliant'....

The stoat can be easily told from the weasel by the simple fact that its tail is black and its figure slightly the bigger.

Our local curry house has started serving Chicken Tarka. It's like Chicken Tikka but a bit otter.

at the shocking puns (I guess?) in this thread, but more so at Turtles' post for being genuine in response to the OP title.

Love Chicken Tarka!

What have Winnie the Pooh and Attila the Hun got in common?
