I found a female adder once
trapped under some farm machinery.
It was sub-tractor.

I had to grip it with an all-purpose
tool from my portable toolkit.
It was a multi-plier.

Unfortunately the tool was stronger
than the snake so all I managed to do
was divide 'er.

Great fun, Stuart.

Sadly I knew

1)That Marc would be the first person to reply
2)Marc would add a dreadful pun of his own
3)I wouldn't be able to think of one!

I like to think of you all as comfortingly reliable rather than boringly predictable...

They do say that when adders want to multiply, they gather wood from the forest and make log tables.

Hehehe. Quite sneaky too that you refer to addition subtraction multiplication and division in that order!
