&#60;p&#62;I think the rambutan has comedy potential, and has the added value of looking like a diseased penis (I imagine)...&#60;/p&#62;

			<description>&#60;p&#62;actually that Karen Millen post is a rather accurate reflection of their stock at their store in Gunwarf&#60;br /&#62;
(Pompey Outlet mall, disturbingly close to Gosport)&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#34;For Cheap. Terrify products from Karen Millen Outlet that quite fit to you.&#34; - priceless

			<description>&#60;p&#62;Excellent!&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;On funny fruit, tomatoes are perfect for this. Personally, I find it hard to resist juicy plums, but have trouble with grapes. If you're Rowan Atkinson I imagine the kumquat is an absolute gift.

			<description>&#60;p&#62;very good.  That Roger McGough voice over...hang on there's a post in him...&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;anyway.  Funny Fruit.  Bananas are a cliche, I think.  Mango has comic potential, ditto pineapple.  Radishes.

			<description>&#60;p&#62;very excellent indeed! Begs the question: 'what is the funniest fruit?'&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Peaches are insanely expensive, but not as funny as tomatoes. Bananas are pretty funny, but a bit overdone and tired now.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;So what other fruits are funny? Melons? Limes? Spunkberries?

			<description>&#60;p&#62;Waitrose, Auctioneers &#38;amp; Valuers of Fine Produce, have announced that a record price has been fetched for a tomato at their Marlborough showrooms yesterday afternoon.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The sale of the tomato, once one of a matching set of six, was acclaimed as a new record for the small fruit, described in the catalogue as extremely rare due to a provenance guaranteeing its non ‘organic status’. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The winning bidder was solicitor Janet Catchpole. ‘Things were tense as the auction got underway,’ she said, ‘and although the bidding went a little above the amount I had planned to spend I’m delighted with my purchase. It’s a real privilege to be able to take this tomato home with me. It will take pride of place with the peach that I bought at Marks &#38;amp; Spencer following my recent lottery win.’&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;‘We are seeing considerable growth in the fruit and vegetable market at the moment,’ said auctioneer Brendan Southgate, ‘of course this particular tomato had some damage, with the vine having been removed at some stage in its history by some vandal, but that does give it more character. A lot of collectors are going for the austerity ‘lived-in look’ at the moment.  Even downmarket showrooms such as Lidl are recognising this with their new Saturday afternoon ‘slightly bruised’ fruit sales.’ &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;'Prices are sky high for gems such as tomatoes and soft fruit. To think that people used to eat these things is quite astonishing.’
