cat piss trumps nail varnish remover
My brother and I used to annoy my sister in so many ways. When we were around 9 and 11 years old it was chewing on bits of lego while we built majestic towers and space stations out of those multi-coloured blocks of addiction. The chewiest lego block was the flat 8 x 1 beam; just long enough to simultaneously allow a good amount of chewage and to mostly nullify the threat of choking.

Sis decided to coat as many of the 8 x 1 beams in a substance to render these pieces unpalatable. She never owned up to doing it, but it was clear they were tampered with in some way. The time it must have taken her to fulfil her dastardly task was inconcievable; in fact I have suspected mother was in on it as well.

Anyway, at first the substance had the desired effect, the 'chewies' were discarded, but to my sister's eternal chagrain I developed an acquired taste for the doctored lego. My brother followed soon after and the look on my sister's face as we both happily chewed away on our 8 x 1 beams was priceless.

A few weeks later I got home after playing football to see my brother playing with our lego. 'Sis has messed with the lego again' said my brother with an 8 x 1 poking out of his mouth. It was then that I noticed that the lego was glistening a little. I moved closer to the large chest of lego, breathed in and promptly informed my bro that the cat had pissed in the lego chest.

I would like to say that stopped us chewing lego. It didn't.
