| I'm asking for a beating but I can't stand tarhana! Maybe it was forced on me as a child but I can't even smell the stuff without feeling the need to run a mile .. ;) I prefer good old Cypriot chicken soup. |

Well its better if you do!!! Old Aristotelis from my village who was an expert in castrating billy-goats,rams, bulls etc, took the balls as his pay only. He lived until 105 and according to his wife Ifigenia he was a bull himself until his death.... :wink: :twisted: :twisted: :lol: :lol: :lol: |
