The River Plate in English........I cant hlp but wonder if the translation in to English is incorrect. Who names a river after a dinner plate?

Rio Prata in Portugues translates as 'Silver River'. I'm sure its similar in Spanish.

What numpty decided to use the word Prata as in dinner plate?

“Plate” of course is the translation of “plata” which in jibber-jabber means silver. At the time, those who could afford it used silver tableware.

““Once she is sighted again, we are prepared to rescue her” ” and then make sausages of it: they taste delicious.

Of course when you are used to eating the crap these people call sausages I would imagine a human turd in a johnny would taste good.

Note for the American readers: a 'johnny' is a prophylactic! :o)

Talking of prophylactics and cigar wrappers, reminded me of :
In days of old
When Knights were bold
and rubbers weren't invented
They'd wrap a leaf
around their beef
and babies were prevented...
