"This cistern is fitted with a Dolby system,
it takes the hiss out of a piss and the slush
out of a flush"

Jim C- Very good. Thanks for earlier too as was not around to answer the question yet would have answered in exact samne way as you did on my behalf.
Write101.com has a very interesting article all about Flammable Vs Inflammable , too! The OED gives a good footnote to this also & advises to use the word Flammable which was coined prior to inflammable anyhow. Regards, Simon

JimC:

In an article for a newspaper which I wrote some years ago, I concluded by asking for someone, preferably in non-scientific terms, to explain the difference between flammable and inflammable.

There were no responses...

Kind regards,

Caravaggio

Why do rhetorical questions get answered?

Also ...

Considering it helps to get the right answer, what's wrong with a leading question?

Why are a wise man and a wise guy opposites?

Also,science tells us that cold showers actually increase sexual arousal so why do we say to someone,'take a cold shower'?!

One more fact, apples are more efficient at waking you up in the morning than coffee.

So if you want to wake up yet control your sexual desire then take a hot shower and eat an apple.
