    Thumbs up Gandhi and his poor feet & bad breath.

    Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and, with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him (Oh, man, this is so bad, it's good) a super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.

    Out of the gloom a voice spake unto me. 'Smile and be happy, Things could get worse."
    So I smiled and was happy, and behold... Things did get worse.

    As I seem to recall the English had a rather interesting custom of digging up coffins for re-use, after a suitably 'decent' interval of course.

    Is that where you got this one, or did you come up with it in a semi-mystic trance after banging your head on something?

    BTW - Is it original and can I re-post it - with suitable posthumous attribution of course.

    Shades of Batson's Belfry and halitosis from the jaws of death - this could have come from Michael Crichton's book "The Great Train Robbery"

    Overlooking the D'Entrecasteaux Channel. The views are magnificent.

    You get 11.73 out of 10 for that.
    I have tried all my life to leave the place better than I found it.
    But there are 6 billion other buggers out there messing it up.
    I am outnumbered.
    But...
    YOU don't just make a difference,
    you make THE difference.

    Indeed - Lemon Sour enough to cure scurvy.

    Can you name the author or forum - I wouldn't want to spread something so piquantly puntastically horrid around unless I could properly attribute it, to someone else.
