A Møøse once bit my sister …

No realli! She was Karving her initials on the møøse  
with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given  
her by Svenge - her brother-in-law - an Oslo dentist and  
star of many Norwegian møvies: “The Høt Hands of an Oslo  
Dentist”, “Fillings of Passion”, “The Huge Mølars of Horst  
Nordfink”.

We apologise for the fault in the  
subtitles. Those responsible have been  
sacked.

Mynd you, møøse bites Kan be pretty nasti…

Good evening. I’d like to talk to you tonight about the place of the nude in my bed … um … in the history of my bed … of art, of art, I’m sorry. The place of the nude in the history of tart… call-girl… I’m sorry. I’ll start again… Bum … oh what a giveaway. The place of the nude in art.
