The nice thing about a cactus that doesn't survive... it doesn't really look all that much different alive or muerto.

@Robin L's gift list above reminds me of a (reputed) classified ad from days of yore.
Oh, and speaking of snakeoil... the redoubtable Wyeth pharmaceutical company (gobbled up by Pfizer in 2009*) got its start, quite literally, selling snake oil (or snake-oil-esque) products in the 19th century. Oh, and the drug lord Wyeths were relatives of the artist Wyeths. But I digress...

EDIT: And speaking of tapeworms... I once read that at least one "diet pill" of the pre-Harrison Drug Act, Snakeoil days of pharmacy, contained tapeworm eggs. Pretty much guaranteed to work, I suppose.

I see what you did there...
maybe it's an antidote to the German preposition rendered in English as "or" (oder).

In correct English it’s “odour” so why isn’t it deodourant?
I'd say probably because the "correct" English is a misspelling of the origin word , but I really don't want to start 5 pages of discussions about word orgins

Not sure about that plan, Tim. Could be awkward. I suggest you take your accordion instead.

soooooo... I could put this a lot of different places here at ASR, but it's Christmas so I think that the venerable humor thread is a fine repository for it.
Season's greetings!
