The goblin shark has alien teeth! Underwater no-one can hear you scream.

Is that snowflake gun filled with cocaine? :D

[David]

[The Thin Man]

Hey Fishbulb, perhaps a better name for the deodorising cocaine/snow product would be "Mr Sparkle".

Thanks for that. What a gal. I love the bit about her driver and pet monkey in matching outfits.

Well, you would, wouldn’t you?
