I have just read the Ed's April Newsletter and he has made reference to .."You can't have your cake and eat it".

This is a phrase which originated after two Eskimos had been on a fishing trip and, being an extremely cold day, they lit a fire in their canoe. Needless to say the small boat then caught fire and sank.

Hence the original saying was .."You can't have your Kayak and Heat it".:-)
