Could not resist!: Copyright explained: When you write copy you have the right to copyright the copy you write, if the copy is right. If however, your copy falls over, you must right your copy. If you write religious services you write rite, and have the right to copyright the rite you write. Very conservative people write right copy, and have the right to copyright the right copy they write. A right wing cleric would write right rite, and has the right to copyright the right rite he has the right to write. His editor has the job of making the right rite copy right before the copyright can be right. Should Jim Wright decide to write right rite, then Wright would write right rite, which Wright has the right to copyright. Duplicating that rite would copy Wright right rite, and violate copyright, which Wright would have the right to right. Right? (author, Shelley Herman)

Yikes! I could go strip some more wallpaper to clear my head.

Seriously (?) though, thanks to the Divine Scorekeeper or earth mother - or none of the above - for holding your willpower whilst you did your good deed for the day.

Translation: Thank you, Conrad Bladey! A passer-onner for sure.

so, there's this expedition which goes to Brazil to look for a tribe of headhunters...they are headhunter hunters...and the leader is the head headhunter hunter..They are anxious to meet the chief of the tribe..(the head headhunter)..because he is reputed to have killed and shrunken the head of the LAST expedition, and enshrined it as the pre-eminent totem of the region..(the head head!)..so..they are looking for the head headhunter's head head....which is SUPPOSED to be mounted right above the chief's outhouse..(the head headhunter's head head's head head....)...etc....it can go on forever, I think....you just add verses

Not on the same lines but going on forever:

It was a dark and stormy night and the wind was blowing a gale and the captain said to the cabin boy "boy tell me a tale" and this is the tale he told:

"As I was walking down the lane,
down the lane, down the lane..
As I was walking down the lane,
I sang a song..that song had this refrain..."

"As I was walking down the lane...etc...until they throw things at you
