DNA Quote: May Contain Nuts by John O’Farrell
by Dr. Hsien-Hsien Lei
Posted December 14, 2007 in DNA Quotes and Excerpts
It was the first really hot weekend of the summer, when millions of Londoners are spontaneously drawn by some genetic migration instinct that sees us all jump into the Land Rover and seek out the lush greenery of the natural world that lies beside the garden centre car park.
~May Contain Nuts by John O’Farrell
I can attest to this observation. At the first tiny jump in the thermometer each Spring, Londoners put on their spaghetti strap dresses, tube tops, shorts, flip flops, or even worse, go TOPLESS and swarm the city sidewalks. Letting it all hangout on parade at 20 degrees C.
