OK, this is just silly

Pontubing? Really?

This is just silly.

Although, I suppose if you're lily-livered* pontubing might be just about the right speed. It seems like a waste of a good tube to me.

Do you think they'd donate it to our cause?

No?

Ah, nuts.





Whence "lily-livered"? 
Etymology is puzzling stuff. 
According to one web source (and let's face it: the Internet knows EVERYTHING but its veracity is suspect) "Lilies are usually white, liver is full of blood and should be dark red/brown. to be "lily-livered" is to be lacking in full-bloodedness" Though what that has to do with courage is beyond me. *puzzle*  *scratch*
