The Clock Fruits
Of course there's no such a fruit or plant, but the rear-end of these poke weed berries (lat. phytolacca americana) looks like a clock... Well, somehow they are related to the time if you try to eat them: they're dangerously poisonous!
Today's joke:
Little Mary Margaret was not the best student in her Catholic School.
Usually she slept through the class. One day her teacher, a Nun, called on her while she was sleeping.
"Tell me Mary Margaret, who created the universe?"
When Mary Margaret didn't stir, little Johnny who was her friend sitting behind her, took a pin and jabbed her in the rear.
"God Almighty!" shouted Mary Margaret.
The Nun said, "Very good" and continued teaching her class. A little later the Nun asked Mary Margaret:
"Who is our Lord and Savior?"
But she didn't stir from her slumber. Once again, little Johnny came to the rescue and stuck Mary Margaret in the butt.
"Jesus Christ!" shouted Mary and the Nun once again said "Very good," and Mary Margaret fell back asleep.
The Nun asked her a third question:
"What did Eve say to Adam after she had her twenty-third child?"
Again, Johnny came to the rescue. This time Mary Margaret jumped up and shouted:
"If you stick that damn thing in me one more time, I'll break it in half!"

I se mai spune cârmâz :))))))))))))))))))) sau rumeioară, denumirea ştiinţifică este Phytolacca americana.
ReplyDeleteAre activitate antiinflamatorie puternică de aceea se foloseşte în tratarea reumatismului, combate guturaiul (amigdalita, laringita, oreionul) se poate utiliza împotriva paraziţilor şi scabiei, este purgativ şi vomitiv.
Fructele coapte au culoarea bobiţelor de struguri negri şi de aceea sucul acestor fructe se foloseşte la colorarea vinului.
Awesome shot...and well I quess they do have something in common with time if they are poisinous...:)
