[Lee]:
Ah--Yes, X-Lax!  I could tell you horrible stories about tricks played on
people with that stuff. <Huge Evil Grin, Maniacal Laughter!>

[Tonks]:

[Lee]:
I found a whole bunch of mail I saved and a lot of it was food discussions.
I believe a "Digestive" is a cookie (or as the Britts would say, a
"Biscuit," made with oats or a more fibrous material than just plain white
flour.

Cheers,
