Hello!
The marvellous Jamie Deedes asked to see a horse garlanded with a sausage.
You can find Jamie’s site here it is stunning.
We put our thinking caps on………Horses……….Famous Horses………Trojan Horse!
You’d have thought The Trojans would have smelled something fishy when this bad boy trundled through the city gates but apparently not.
Beware Of Greeks Bearing Frankfurters
Even more so when Brad, strolling around as Achilles in the Turkey that was “Troy” wore a pork and herb sausage on his bonce for much of the film.
Was The Sausage His Achilles Heel?
IS THERE ANYONE OR ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE ADORNED BY A SAUSAGE?
This explains a lot – “So you’re giving us a big wooden horse, big deal. What’s that? You’ll throw in a delicious frankfurter? Well, now you;re talking! Bring it on!” (I’m sorry, I don’t know what the Helen of Troy I’m talking about)
I believe that is the most accurate historical summation of what happened.
I went back to Homer’s original texts.?
The face that launched a thousand bratwursts!
Reminds me of Achilles sausage
Boom boom!
Surely the one for Achilles featured chillies?
I was trying to work that one in!
I really need to see the Statue of Liberty with a sausage on her head.
Give me a week or,two!
🙂
Bravo, Jim. You couldn’t have picked a better tale to sausage my heart. Love the Trojan Horse story. Thank you and thanks for the compliment. You are kind.
… and my father was from Turkey, by the way. So, yes – perfect choice.
Most welcome Jamie and nice to see there was a geographic link to. If only “Beware of Deedes bearing gifts” scanned properly…….
LOL! You’re too funny.
