"No Monkeypox for me ..." as well, wildchild, but I have some questions about the efficacy of your patch, as Chiquiuta has been around for many years. Have you heard her song? "I'm Chiquita banana and I've come to say bananas ought to ripen in a certain way when they are flecked with brown and have a golden hue, bananas taste the best and are the best for you. You can put 'em in a salad - you can put 'em in a pie, aye ... any way you want to eat em, it's impossible to beat 'em! But bananas like the climate of the very, very tropical equa-a-tor - so you should never put bananas ... in the refrig-er-ator!" Can't remember how many years it's been since this fergetful feller last heard that song ... but it's still here. Music and song surely stick in one's memory, don't t? ole joyfuelled
