Thread Name: BS: Yorick is out of his skull . . . .
Subject: RE: BS: Yorick is out of his skull . . . .
Correction:

Well actually gypsy started the thread for the song
"Sweet Thames River Flow Softly" .

There's a new African proverb that says "One person's mistake is another person's opportunity".

I bet there's no song YET called "Sweat Thames flow softly",
but someone could write one.

Who is Thames and why is he or she sweating? And what's with that "flow softly" bit? Do I detect folk etymology at play here changin up the ORIGINAL lyrics? Did somebody hear "Thames" when what was sang was "James"? And was the word "flow" actually "tow" or "toe" as in "tip toe"??

And what does ANY of this have to do with Yorick being out of his skull?!

Just a bit of fun.

Thank you Yorick, wherever you may be.
