Isn't it something like - 'pour chocolate in on top, it comes out a Treat?'
I'll get my coat...

sounds like the old 'egg in a glass' pub trick, you blow onto the object, the air goes around it to the back and forces it out, so you could purge your reg onto the ear/legume assembly

Alternatively you could just make like Nelson Muntz and point and laugh "har-har" ;)

Legume? It's a peanut, not a pea....

Did you hear the one about the elephant called "Nuts".

Wouldn't do anything unless the instruction was suffixed with his name...and then he'd do anything you asked.

One day he was getting a bath from his keeper who asked:
1) Lift you foot please
(nothing happened)
2) Lift your foot, Nuts
(foot got lifted and was duly cleaned)
3) sit down Nuts
(sits down and his back gets srubbed)
4) Stand up so I can scrub underneath please Nuts
(keeper walks underneath the elephant and starts scrubbing his belly)

Just then a vendor walks past selling his healthy snacks....



yes - you guessed it


"PEANUTS...lovely PEE Nuts, get your lovely PEE Nuts here!"

Now where was my coat!

1.) Tilt childs head so you can see the peanut clearly,
2.) Hold a mars bar by the ear , while your buddy stikes a
match.
3.) Warm up chocolate, letting small blobs drip into the ear.
4.) As chocolate starts to set. Flick the childs head quickly.



Now it comes out a TREAT. ;-)

Didn't they metamorphose into M&M's?

1) Unless medically qualified, it's probably a mistake to interfere with it.

2) A peanut (or any other legume) in the external ear is unlikekly to be life threatening.

3) The mother must have got down there somehow, tell her to take the kid to A&E

4) If the kid is over 14, offer a try dive once the peanut has been removed & the attending physician has confirmed that there is no damage.

5) The way the question is laid out, the quoted speech is not necessarily that of the mother who asks for help - could she perhaps have been asking for help on some other problem, and it is Your son that has the peanut? (in which case the answer is 'Take hime to A&E' and 'No'). Have I been trying to interpret too many BSAC questions?

6) I've lost the will to continue, and must get on with some work....

Cheers Chaps !
