I don't feel like Googling anything at the time being, but I assume Franke's joke is in regard to Chi Tea?

I also have to add that "Cherry Chi" would have been a better joke, IMO, because most hoes don't have strawberries (or cherries).

Well, Joey, I had found the following definition of 'Strawberry' at:

Strawberry = female who trades sex for crack or money to buy crack.

That's why I "CRACKed up".

"No problem the way I talk: they're pronounced quite differently. I'm sure you're familiar with Admiral Drake's refusal to engage the Spanish Armada till he'd finished playing on Plymouth Ho'. Mike."

Plymouth had hoes too?

Nice one, Joey! And not a majuscule out of place. There's even a classy understated full stop at the end. We're going to be proud of you one day.

Yeah, yeah, but he for the "Vice-" that goes before "President". I won't even mention that it's "Kwhale" or "Quayle" or "Kwale". I know that NJ is still part of the USA.

Got it! I thought the "strawberry" part was supposed to be some crapy reference to a popular flavour of Chi Tea (I don't drink the stuff) and/or Franke's confusion of "strawberry" vs. "cherry". Then again, it wouldn't have surprised me if the hymen *was* called the "strawberry" back in Franke's day.
