+ | ====== The Eiffel Revulsion ====== | ||
+ | As requested by the Baronet Clive Masterly on the twenty third night of March in bequest of Baron Von Munchausen to one Captain Sir Robert, Gentleman Pirate. Being transcripts of some merit. | ||

+ | ===Note from the chronicler=== | ||
+ | Some portions of this tale are lost through misadventure. | ||

+ | **[Perhaps Captain Sir - you could tell us of the time you stopped the French Revolution with the aid of sponge cake, and the Eiffel Tower]** | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Baron Celsius: I think you may have been the victim of a spelling error, the Baronet refers to the " | ||
+ | |||
+ | I see, I understand it all now. Well the French are, revolting, and there is a great deal of revulsion towards the French. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Lord Peter: Perhaps it was to do with the fact that in France, sponge cakes are primarily made of lard?** | ||
+ | |||
+ | Well, as my crew largely found this out, having engorged themselves on lardy sponge cakes, and were now roughly the shape of baboons only they didn't quite [climb] so well, as I found out by experiment. | ||
+ | What happened with my thousand muscular French women, my pet peasant Jacques, my crew - being pushed ashore initially in wheelbarrows by Jacques (But after a while they managed to take turns pushing each other ashore on wheelbarrows) | ||
+ | |||

+ | **Hon. Hyacynth: I'm concerned about the sponge cake - you said it had gone stale, surely it was now mouldy?** | ||
+ | |||
+ | The French have this thing about mouldy blue cheese, so it's only a short step for a mouldy lard filled sponge cake to being a great delicacy. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Hon. Hyacynth: Chocolate and coconut?** | ||
+ | |||
+ | Chocolate, coconut blue-veined cheese. Brier with claret, quail and one of those strange birds... | ||
+ | Anyhow, we had arrived at Paris and constructed the whole lot, using the Eiffel Tower as the central support point, into the largest cake you had ever seen. Now as you are no doubt quite aware, the French were in the middle of a major Revulsion against the French king, who as well all know is spotty. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Lord Peter: Well I had heard that someone had recently introduced to the continent the concept of a bath?** | ||
+ | |||
+ | That would explain things - I did see some unusually clean Frenchmen. | ||
+ | Because lard wasn't actually good for you, they were all then violently ill and died. | ||
