the whopping scent of seduction
According to the BBC, Burger King is marketing a men's fragrance with the scent of meat.
Called Flame, the company says the spray is "the scent of seduction with a hint of flame-broiled meat".
The scent is on sale in New York for $3.99 (£2.65)
On the online site promoting the scent, the Burger King character is also seen reclining almost naked in front of a log fire with whipped cream.

School bans the word school
This story is probably a complete load of cobblers as it was reported in The Sun, that British bastion of great journalism. Nonetheless it is amusing.
'Watercliffe Meadow is known as a “Place for Learning” because staff say “school” has a negative impact on some mums and dads.'

old joke
An elderly couple, who were both widowed, had been going out with each other
for a long time. Urged on by their friends,they decided it was finally time
to get married.
Before the wedding, they went out to dinner and had a long conversation
regarding how their marriage might work. They discussed finances, living
arrangements, and so on.
Finally, the old gentleman decided it was time to broach the subject of
their physical relationship. 'How do you feel about sex?' he asked,
rather tentatively.
'I would like it infrequently' she replied.
The old gentleman sat quietly for a moment,adjusted his glasses and leaned
over towards her and whispered 'Is that one word or two?'
for a long time. Urged on by their friends,they decided it was finally time
to get married.
