I had to laugh at these-found on a historical romance blog today

1. An advert in La Belle Assemblée : Sir Hans Soane’s Restorative and Re-Animating Pills for those distressing Debilities which prevent, or render unhappy, the Marriage State (but cannot, with a due regard to delicacy, be mentioned in a public magazine.

The afflicted could send off for a helpful pamphlet for 1/- or purchase a box of pills for 10/6d.

Ye olde Viagra!

2. It was a really exciting period. In the first book, the heroine is trying to breed a better chicken. In the second, the heroine is severely short-sighted and the heroine of the third book owns a small factory.

A better chicken!!! You don't get much more exciting than that!!! Someone call Hugh Fernley Whittingstall!
Yes I'm bored. And your point is?

I'm attempting to get on with "Frost Fair" which is going to be my Winter novella for Linden Bay Romance but although my hero has his fingers on another man's placket, he seems rather reluctant to dig in and find what lies beneath. *kicks him* This isn't a time for conversation damn you!
