Tell us something.: I play whistles. I sell whistles. This seems just a BIT excessive to the cause. A sentence or two is WAY less than 100 characters.

Or a Bleazey, or a Wood Syn or any wooden instrument.

Point taken, but Tinanana did say it was a plastic head. :P

You will notice that on the lefthand bottle the fairy is facing to the left, but on the other ones they are facing to the right.

This is a highly significant but mysterious fact.

The bottle on the right is labelled "bigger bottle", so the bottle on the left should be labelled "biggest bottle", but it isn't.

Also, why do the fairies all wear nappies? (daipers)

Yowsers, it's slow this afternoon in the office...

The yellow and blue fairies are marching off stage left (from their vantage point) to demand a larger bottle in which they can mix their contents and make green. They are tired of the larger fairy, on the current green bottle, pushing them around. The diapers/nappies are obvious to anyone who has actually attempted to work with young fairies. They are used to a more "natural" environment, and are extremely difficult to housebreak.

Although I do understand the reasoning, I don't think that the vertically challenged fairies should change to green....the green in the larger bottle is just so unattractive. :P

It's not really a question of fast or slow...it's just that my mind is best stimulated by absurdity...keeps me awake. Kind of an ADD type thing.

Here is the ultimate and safe way to clean.
Put a couple of inches hot water in sink. Mix in some Cascade Complete (dishwasing machine stuff). Use only that brand, it has enzymes that eat the crud out. A minute of agitation is all you'll need.
Let dry.
Put a little soapy water into the mouthpiece to prevent condensation.

Good for a month at least.
