I've been pushing plums through square holes today, just to show that it's possible.

You may be thinking to yourself "It's clearly possible, what kind of fool would think otherwise!". Well, there is just one.

I invented him last week. He's made of papier-mache and tinfoil and largely sits in the corner not doing very much. He's really rubbish at skipping, I should point that out in case you were going to ask.

We were chatting one night after a few g&t's (mostly drunk by me - he just kept dribbling his down his face when I made him drink. Makes his chin go a bit soggy, which isn't a good look for him at all) and the subject of plum-pushing came up. I said it was clearly a simple matter to push plums through almost any shape you care to imagine - and especially easy with square shapes.

"No no! I disagree!" he almost said. Well! As you can imagine, I took this as a challenge, so have spent the past few days gathering plums and square holes to prove my point.

So today, I made him eat his words by holding his face very near the holes and shoving plums through while screaching "I win again!!!! I win again!!!!!".

Passed the time anyway.....
