Sam's Word of the Week - Monday 24th October, 2005

Teflon® (n)

The non-stick product that everybody loves. Teflon® is made up of tiny little particles of the world’s slipperiest items including jelly, banana peels, oil, water and sandpaper. Historians have traced the invention of Teflon® back to cavemen, who were sick of not being able to separate their omelettes from their frypans (and consequently ended up eating the frypans). This caused declining numbers among the cavemen until a young cave boy named Richie Benaud invented the banana peel and history was made. Jessica Simpson apparently rolled around in a vat of Teflon® in preparation for her clip “These Boots are Made for Walking” to ensure she would not stick to the car’s bonnet. Controversy surrounded the birth of Crown Prince Frederik and Princess Mary’s baby boy, after George W. Bush gave him the gift of a Teflon® bed. Reportedly he was concerned the baby would turn into a fish. Following the lead from Teflon®, Sam is pleased to announce that from this day, he has officially registered turnip chips as his own, and from now on will be known as Turnip Chips®.
