You're lucky you have FEET. I had mine amputated back in 1987, after a dog mauled them on my way to the podiatrist.

You take naps? Luxury!! If I am ever caught shutting my eyes at work, I am walloped over the head with a bag of fish innards...but do I complain? No, I don't, because then I would lose my job and some young forrin' lad would be straight in my place faster than a rat up a drainpipe.

We've gone a bit off-message now. But I need to know, what are (or is?) minion?

"rotten fish innards"

How do people think they MAKE fish sauce?

Anyway, thank to this thread I now know what "Minions" are.

We live in part of an old large property with no entry visible from the ground that can be knocked or rung so are blessedly free of this ghastly Americn export.

Re the condoms, it is said that after WW2 US occupied Japan had a desperate shortage of condoms. Gen MacArthur ordered that supplies from the US be extra large size but labelled "Small"

The story of Minions begins at the dawn of time. Starting as single-celled yellow organisms, Minions evolve through the ages, perpetually serving the most despicable of masters. Continuously unsuccessful at keeping these masters-from T. rex to Napoleon-the Minions find themselves without someone to serve and fall into a deep depression. But one Minion named Kevin has a plan, and he-alongside teenage rebel Stuart and lovable little Bob-ventures out into the world to find a new evil boss for his brethren to follow. The trio embarks upon a thrilling journey that ultimately leads them to their next potential master, Scarlet Overkill, the world's first-ever female super-villain. They travel from frigid Antarctica to 1960s New York City, ending in mod London, where they must face their biggest challenge to date: saving all of Minionkind...from annihilation.
