THE 'LINX' EFFECT?

Betcha when you saw the above pic in thumbnail form,

you thought "What's that nutter up to now?"  However, it's

not what you thought it was, it's only a sausage and there's an

amusing true story behind it.

So I'm in my local ICELAND (trying to avoid PETER

ANDRE over in FARMFOODS) and see an empty checkout.  I
ask the bored-looking woman if she's serving and she says "Yes."
I hand over my bag of 40 (count 'em - 40) sausages for only £2,

and as she's about to scan the barcode, three women appear
from nowhere (like Mr. BENN's shopkeeper) and form
a queue behind me.

"Where did they come from?" asks the assistant, jokingly.
"They followed me," quips I.  "I have that effect on women -
it's the 'links' effect," I say, pointing at the bag of sausages
on the counter.  Cue uproarious laughter all around.  Some-
times I amaze even myself with just how witty I am.

(LINX effect - LINKS effect.  Geddit?  Nobody
around here ever watch the TV ads?  Sheesh!)
