Look at that odd … thing.
Is it a ball, is it a balloon, no it’s …
That reminds me, I need some oranges.
Mandarins are more appeeling, oranges give me the pip!
Very funny, seriously though I’m going to make some marmalade.
My Ma made marvellous marmalade.
Very amusing Marmaduke. I might make some jam too.
James, what happened when a truck spilt a load of strawberries on the motorway?
Go on, tell me.
Caused a jam!
Your jokes get worse. Say, why don’t we pop to the bar for a beer?
Great idea, I’ll raise a toast to your marmalade!
