Subject: RE: Parody: Are You Lonesome Tonight
John in Brisbane....piles of paper. Which reminds me of a WWII joke about GI's receiving rifle nomenclature training from a Brit Seargent. "This 'ere part of the rifle is the stock and it used to be made of a very 'ard wood named "ickory". GI: You mean Hickory, don't you Sarge?". Seargent: Yes... Hickory. But then we couldn't get any more Hickory, so we made it out of a very 'ard wood called...Hash." GI:"You mean Ash, don't you, Sarge?" Seargent: Yes... Ash. But then we couldn't get no more....Ash, so we used another very 'ard wood called Lignem Vitae, which is used to make Piles for Peers, and I don't mean 'emorrhoids for the Aristocracy!" For the record John, I was a dermatologist. Regards Larry Parish
