Subject: RE: Folklore: 'e don't know where 'e are
It is said that a lady went into a high-class music dealer's shop on Bond Street, London, and asked for the popular song "'E Don't Know Where 'E Are." The salesman said that he didn't have it, but that he would get it for her, and to her intense amusement she saw him write on a slip of paper:—"Get song 'He Does Not Know Where He Is.' "
