Dear Mr Stonecastle,
I have here before me your request for the donation of one whole days output of our PRIZE WINNING custard pies for use in a moving picture.

I am reminded of a similar request last year by a Mr H Roach, on behalf of a Mr S Laurel for the purchase of a similar number of pies. I have seen an excerpt of the moving picture subsequently made by these gentlemen, entitled “Battle of the Century” and was horrified to see that our pies were used for the purpose of indiscriminate throwing at each other. Worse still, there were several ladies involved! You may well imagine the embarrassment felt by these poor ladies at receiving one of our PRIZE WINNING pies directly in the face.

I feel therefore that I must refuse your request unless you can assure me that the pies will not be used for a similar frivolous purpose.

Yours sincerely,

Hiram N Fyram
Sales Director

What a cheek! I spent two whole minutes of my life composing that, and, at my age I haven't got all that many minutes left .

Might have been better spending those minutes looking at all the lovely ladies on Splosh, then commenting on how they could get messier LOL!

It doesn't have to be egg custard. Thick whipped cream, raw cake better, thick yorgurt, angel delight and strawberry and chocolate mousse are just as messy.

I watched Battle of the Century last night. Now there's a fucking coincidence for you.
