Talking about sprouts, I still remember a quote from a movie (I forget the name) about high-ranking American officers coming to the UK in order to prepare the logistics of bringing their troops to England in advance of D-Day. They were having dinner, and one of the officers said "The first thing we're gonna do is bomb all their *** sprout fields!"
Just imagine after eating some sprouts garnished with the sauce how fat you would be on a pair of ice skates or ski's, jet propelled ( make sure that there are no naked flames in the vicinity though ).
