You're halfway there. Don't give up now!

 

[=Tamar]

Oh, all right. It's from Carpe Jugulum. Your turn!

The question seldom addressed is where Medusa had snakes. Underarm hair is an even more embarrassing problem when it keeps biting the top of the deodorant bottle.

Possibly, but my opinion is that underarm hair is funnier.

Oh, and the quotation is from Soul Music.

I give up.

 

[=Tamar]

Hint? It's a footnote for tiddley-rats, another game.

[RathDarkblade]

Bump again.

 

[raisindot]

Okay, finally found one.

*Classically, very few people have considered that cleanliness was next to godliness, apart from in a very sternly abridged dictionary.
