Reminds me of an entry in Dr Johnson's dictionary (the first one of
English, I think) -
'OATS - a grain commonly fed to horses but much beloved by Scots.'
He was no fan of Scotland.
Then there was the dietary experient that fed one group of rats on Corn
Flakes and another group on Corn Flake packets. The rodents on the
cardboard diet are reputed to have done a little better.
Don't know if it had any effect on their sexual habits, but.
