I was listening to the Radio 4 news today when the newsreader tripped over a word, saying, "....the misuse of jugs" instead of "drugs". It got me thinking.

The misuse of jugs by Rob Barratt   

Vase
Ostrich-sized egg cup
Generously optimistic receptacle for urine sample
Home for false teeth
Remove base to use as a megaphone
Storage for used chip fat
Potty
Unusual hat
Breasts for impoverished female impersonator
FA Cup replacement (if lost)
Weapon against intruders (not plastic jugs)
Oil can
Vessel for syringing ears in the absence of a kidney bowl
Bidet
Bong
Toby or not Toby?
That is the question.  

I guess every pitcher tells a story……..

... and is worth a thousand words! If I'd realised, I could have saved a lot of time and agonising at university!
(Think I caught that slip as well)

I liked this because it was fun to read and it flowed in many directions had flavor and color. It was disjointed yet connected by thoughtful logic. This process of brainstorming or free flow of thought is a great exercise and you found a way to involve poetry.
