    Mmm - I wondered what was humorous about a "Plague" - Plague is a severe and potentially deadly bacterial infection!

    The plague caught my attention - the cartoons were a bonus

    South African English is phonetic - spelling is haphazard - like "their goes there goats this Saterday said all the woman"

    Hahaha. Yes it can be. I wonder if the seller knows he is selling bacterial infections

    Perhaps the seller is referring to the plague (e.g. bubonic or something equally sinister?). Old wood may carry lurgies, it seems!

    Methinks he should have spelt the item "plaque"!

    Oh and here's another one that seems to be something of a tongtwister

    Hallmarked Silver - JD&S Hall Mark Silver Sugar Tongue - Lenght 9cm for sale in Bloemfontein (ID:45367122)

    It's amazing how many times this crops up in the silver categories, and I've even seen it as a silver thong - now ouch - that's painful
    And have seen a copper through, trog, and tough before. Well English is a stupid language - Frank

    I won't like to have a tongue in my sugar! But yes, this person is from the Free State. As a born Free Stater, I can tell you, we only use english for self defence! LOL
