Well, Uncle John wasn't the happies of lemuurijins when I explained to him that the liquorice tea was for medicinal purposes only .. he likes liquorice. I had to tell him that the liquorice he likes to get the teeth stuck too was really aniseedorice so that lemuures like him can eat as much as they like without feeling a bit pawly.
Thinking about the amounts he's been known to aim at the snout it's just as well. Maybe we can find him some aniseed tea for recreational purposes.
I told him that it wasn't necessary to test the barks if you didn't want to and that the hippies had discovered the aspirins in the trees a long time ago in previous centuries of bark testing. These days they do all the scientific testing in the lavs where there's plenty of water.
He said he thought as much. This is the 21st century.
And pottered off carrying six of the ginger and lemon teabags.
