Might that have been inspired by the Comic Relief car noses? As a fundraising opportunity. My husband isn’t safe on the roads at this time of year, they make him so angry

I had accused my husband of trying to set up some sort of ‘two can-go’ joke 💃🏻

Me too, and my dog thinks has a taste for corn without ever eating it
