Ummm, if you happen to have property in the same sim as I, please accept my deepest apologies and please return any coconuts you find.

What happened?

#1: It was a Friday and I wanted something new, so I got a Hawaiian dancer outfit with the grass skirt and coconut bikini top.

#2: A few days before, I had made a simple clicky launcher for a friend that fired temporary fireballs.

#3: For some as yet unknown reason, I decided to refit the launcher with .. uh.. coconuts.

$4: Test fired the UI-mounted rapid-fire "coconut cannon" and, yes, I went a little overboard. The test was successful, except for the fact I neglected to flag the coconut ammunition *temporary* (!!!)... so I spent about an hour searching and picking them up from the surrounding areas and all the tight corners a coconut can possibly hide, not to mention all other coconuts fired previously during fine tuning.

Problem is I didn't find them all, and am still getting periodic "lost and found" coconuts back, so hopefully most have been recovered by now.

Again, my sincere apologies. I shall exercise more restraint in the future when I finish construction on my "banana ballista".

Benny Hill: Now, coconut good for eating,

Girl 1: Rabbit's foot is good for luck,

Girl 2: Swimming is good for my figure,

Benny Hill: Have you never had a look at a duck?

(singing)
If you want to save money on our island,
And cut down on your petrol bill,
You must add tiny wheels to the front of your car,
And you'll always be going downhill.

Oh you can drink coconut milk,
Coconut butter is as smooth as silk,
And when we meet in the middle of the deserted Isle well,
We dance to the rhythm of the coconut shells.

Now my wife has had 17 husbands,
Including 4 of her own,
Last week was our anniversary, so just before I left home,
I wrote her a check for 1,000 kisses, just as daylight was dawning,
I got back that night,
She said, “Your check was just right, because the milkman cashed it this morning.”

Oh you can drink coconut milk,
Coconut butter is as smooth as silk,
And when we meet in the middle of the deserted Isle well,
We dance to the rhythm of the coconut shells.

Now my wife’s one in a million
How often have you heard that said?
But wife’s not one in a million,
She looks like she’s won in a raffle instead.

Now she’s oh so fat, I made her promise that,
She would run 10 miles everyday,
And if she starts soon, by the end of June,
She’ll be 400 miles away.

OH my, the classic Benny Hill - you are awful but I like you - thanks for the memories Ray! I wonder what he would've done with a 'coconut cannon'!

Down at an English fair,
One evening I was there,
When I heard a showman shouting
Underneath the flare:

I've got a lo-ve-ly bunch o' coconuts.
There they are a-standin' in a row.
Big ones, small ones, some as big as yer 'ead!
Give 'em a twist, a flick o' the wrist,
That's what the showman said.

I've got a lo-ve-ly bunch o' coconuts.
Every ball yer throw will make me rich.
There stands me wife, the idol of me life,
Singin' "roll a-bowl a ball, a penny a pitch!

Singin' roll a-bowl a ball, a penny a pitch!
Singin' roll a-bowl a ball, a penny a pitch!
Roll a-bowl a ball, roll a-bowl a boll, singin' roll a-bowl a ball a penny a pitch!

I've got a lo-ve-ly bunch of coconuts (They're lovely!)
There they are a standing in a row.
(One, two, three, four)
Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head
(And bigger)
Give 'em a twist, a flick of the wrist, thats what the showman said.

Now that I've got a lo-ve-ly bunch of coconuts.
(La-da-de-da-da)
Every ball you throw will make me rich.
(Have a banana)
There stands me wife, the idol of me life,
Singin' roll a-bowl a ball, a penny a pitch!

All together now!

Singin' roll a-bowl a ball, a penny a pitch!
(Harmony!)
Singin' roll a-bowl a ball, a penny a pitch!
Roll a-bowl a ball, roll a-bowl a ball, singin' roll a-bowl a ball, a penny a pitch.

Singin' roll a-bowl a ball, a penny a pitch!

I am bumping you to an 8.5 on the Official Trout Measuring Instrument of Sluttiness. You are an enigma - on the one hand a sweet, gentle, intelligent woman who we would like to wrap up in our arms and protect, and on the other, a temptress to whom we would like to do all sorts of unmentionable things.

Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut.
