Well, that covered most of the bases, didn't it.
So, yes, he was the first to pull a rabbit from a hat.
He advertised himself by leaving pats of butter around hotels stamped with, "Anderson was here".
I WARNED you it was rude!
Bea !
I'm not the one who brought up the topic of leprosy, so I'm blameless!
Of course you are.I WARNED you it was rude!

Sweet, innocent, little Bea.
Ahem.
What did Hans Christian Andersen and Josef Stalin have in common ?
Naturally! It was Ed's fault for mentioning leprosy, not that I'm a snitch or anythingI WARNED you it was rude!

They both knew Thumbelina
OK, Minus points for Ed.
And minus points for Lyn, for not being a snitch.OK, Minus points for Ed.
ahem.
Possibly, possibly,
And.......?
I suppose it was my fault originally for mentioning that you were sleeping with the armadillos.OK, Minus points for Ed.
Ed was just pointing out the dangers of getting a STD (snooze transmitted disease) so he should keep his points and I should lose them instead.
But when I say 'should'................
...........The Little Mermaid?
The arbitrary decisions of Tidgy's Dad are final.
there is no right ( or left) of appeal.
Except sometimes.
I do like snooze transmitted disease, that'll give you some points back.

Sounds fishy to me.
Andersen was agoraphobic dyslexic and a vegetarian , 'The Ugly Duckling' was a gay parable and he wanted to be a ballet dancer, but was too big and clumsy.
He had a fear of either being burned or buried alive.
He fell in love with the son of a friend and the boy got married. So when Hans died he was buried in the grave with the son and his wife.
He was later reburied on his own after the sons later descendants complained.
He was a friend of Charles Dickens and went to stay with him. But he wouldn't leave Dickens' house and eventually had to be forcibly removed.
Anyway, Hans Christian Anderson and Josef Stalin were both the sons of a cobbler and a washer woman.
Though not the same cobbler and washer woman.
So both of his parents were good with their Hans then.
And Christians I suppose.
And lived in an Anderson shelter?
Hmm...wonder how they thought of their son's name?
Asked Stalin's mum and dad I expect, since they were in the same professions.
Not very nice in later life to admit that their mums were old washer women and their dad's were a load of cobblers!
But better than their dad's being old washer women and their mums a load of cobblers!
