You have some nerve, Grannymar, printing that stupid recipe. When I put that castor oil in my Pork Balls it had a terrible effect on my family.
They are all lined up outside the bathroom door now screaming at each other to “HURRY”. They didn’t even help me wash up the dishes, they were all in such desperate need of the Loo.
I just want you to know……..Ooh, I’ll be back later ……Gotta go. Literally!

Nancy, Nancy, Nancy! Did you not read the label on the bottle? At least your family will have the cleanest innards in the world.

Castor Oil, Nancy? Oh you are such a wit. You kept me from being hungry after reading your comment.

Hello Grannymar,
I know it is 2:00 A.M. to you but I want you to know that I finally made it to the head of the Loo line. Such a relief!
Please don’t ever include Castor Oil as an ingredient again.

Nancy,
Be thankful that you didn’t use engine oil!
