I know Cecil Sharp House is called "C^♯ House" by its friends. It's just occurred to me to wonder: Did Cecil live in D^♭ at the top?

We had a new neighbour move in last month, he'd come from West Yorkshire. One night I heard him in his garden shouting "Grieg!, Grieg! Grieg!"

I went out, introduced myself and asked him why he was shouting "Grieg!"

He said "Am calling t'dog. That's is name."

I said, "That's an unusual name for a dog. Why did you choose it?"

He said, "Because he likes t'pee againt suite!

OK, here's one for the oldies ....

Noah is leaning on the doorpost of the Ark, glowing with the satisfaction of a job well done: the Ark has grounded, the door is open, the beasts have gone forth, and he's just finished muckin' out their pens. Then he hears an awful racket:

brUmmm brrrRRRRRRRRR *crunch*
brUmmm brrrRRRrrrRRRrrrRRRRRRR *crunch*

What's this? thinks he, and goes to investigate. He follows the noise, and finds a freshly-cut clearing in the forest, in which two snakes are, erm, snake-handling a chainsaw and about to fell another tree.

"What's all this?" says he. "I said 'Go forth and multiply', not 'Go forth and demolish the environment'."

"But we're adders," say the snakes. "If you want us to multiply, we need log tables."

Another Donuel parody:

After one whole term of being lazy
Like an old man, he's half asleep
Now it seems that he's half crazy
but is as mean as a lying creep
Trump is not a new sensation
He's done pretty well I think
But this half-ton imitation
is circling right down the sink

He's wild again, beguiled again
A simpering, whimpering child again
Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered is he
He's a lot like villain John Wilkes Booth
He tweets DON'T BELIEVE what our eyes see
Bewitched, he's allergic to the truth

Lost the vote, but so what of it
He is old I agree
He can laugh, and we love it
Although the laugh's on me
Pastors sing to him, folks bring to him
Donations for lawyers that cling to him

Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered is he
He's a fool and don't I know it
But a fool can have his charms
He's confused and he really shows it
Revenge will be his harm
He's the same old sad sensation
Lately, I've not slept a wink
Since this half-ton imitation
Washed rights right down the sink

He's sinned a lot; I mean a lot
He's like a repeat craven felon
Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered is he
The fringe loves him, but I CRINGE from him
Some worship the red tie that clings to him
Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered is he

When he talks, he is seeking
Hatred to get off his chest
with his word salad speaking, he's at his very best
Vexed again, perplexed again
As God, he wants us obsessed again
Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered is he

Wise at last, my eyes at last
Are cutting him down to size at last
Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered no more
Burned a lot, we've learned a lot
And now he thinks he beat Barak,
Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered no more

For all we know he is dyspeptic
Sanity is a real no-go
I hope the election's antiseptic
and he's locked up in Mara Lago
Donald Trump, finis, your chance, finis
Those ants that invaded our House, finis
Bewitched bothered and bewildered no more.

At the time of The Flood it was decided that the koi Carp deserved their own ark so Noah built one with a few levels allowing the Koi to swim freely up and down. It had to be towed behind the main ark on a very long rope. They needed the protection of their ark but also deserved some freedom so the koi would sometimes go off on a little adventure and when they came back they would tell Noah where they'd been and what they'd done.
Noah looked forward to this and day after day there was a new story for him.
This was probably the very first multi-storey carp ark.

According to my in-depth studies of an old Journal Of Record[1], the supply of Tibetan rancid yak butter has been endangered by the import of modern detergents, as the yaks are no longer rancid.

The teacher is conducting vocabulary lessons.

"Today's word is 'frugal'. Does anyone know what it means?"
Silence... "Well, it means 'saving'. Johnny, can you tell up how it can be used?"

Johnny thinks for a minute.. "Um, a famous knight was riding out one day when he saw a maiden being attacked by a dragon!
She saw him and cried out "Frugal me! Frugal me!".. so he killed the dragon and frugaled her, and they lived happily ever after!"

Observation from the late great Fritz Spiegl (misquoted from memory):

English is a terribly directional language. It's better to be in a car which breaks down going at seventy in the fast lane of the M1 than to be in a car which breaks up going at seventy in the fast lane of the M1.

MaJoC's riposte:

On the other hand, it's better to be sent up in front of a capacity crowd by a man in a dress and a strange wig than to be sent down in front of a capacity crowd by a man in a dress and a strange wig.
