I don't get the funny.
Does Gladioli mean something or is it just that they got the last 3 letters of Gladius wrong? Confused

Possums, please.
Have a word with the vendor of that atrocity.
There is only one distributor of gladioli around here.

Just googled it, so it's the plural of the flower named Gladiolus.
Botany jokes, that has to be a BCF first.

That seems expensive. I've got a 2011 model sat in the garage, with about 3,000 miles on it that I'd let go for that.


Ah, no topbox though. That'll be it.

Botanical jokes are a BCF perennial.

It's not a top box, it's a planting trough, like a mobile window box, you should always keep a spare set of bulbs in it.

Not so much; it's really the association with Dame Edna Everage (as alluded to above) which provides the comic association

Well, I was going to thank you for enlightening me, but after that bizarre experience I'm not sure thankful is how I'm feeling. Laughing

That seemed like it was in the middle of the performance too.
To round up the show I could sort of understand, but what follows such craziness I can't even fathom.
