Arcane quiz question: What were "as rare as asparagus at Christmas"? And who coined the phrase whilst speaking to whom?

Thinking about it, that would be a very good one for the King William Quiz.

(PS I have just checked, and it is possible to find the answer using Google!)

I'd never heard the phrase, so googled. The answer is rather pleasing, and also very you!

You're asking us for confirmation?

It's a lab fact that if you stick your finger in dimethylsulfoxide you taste it instantly (like Mork, drinking with his finger that is). This activity is probably frowned upon by modern-day safety elves so only try it on work-study students.

He is indeed asking for confirmation.

I think we all know what the toppings will be when Roger orders in the pizzas for his forthcoming party, just before watering the pampas grass.
