Birthdays, balloons and gherkins

02Feb05

Question: What’s weirder than a walnut in a balloon?
You’re right, that is a strange question but it’s exactly what Iain asked me a couple of weeks ago. He needed a birthday present for his brother and it had to be better than a walnut in a balloon (that’s what he got last year).
Answer: A jar full of gherkins in balloons.

A quick trip to the pound shop yielded some cheap balloons and a jar a gherkins. We got to work and individually wrapped each salty cucumber in its own balloon. But what to do with all the left over balloons? Inflate them and prank my flat-mates of course!
