Subject: RE: Mouse on the Barroom Floor
Did your uncle sing "Let's have one on the House?" It goes like this, (as I said, very short!):

Let's have one on the house!

Bartender don't be a louse!

As the rooster once said,

to the hen on the shed,

"Let's have one on the house!"


I was seventeen before I figured out why this was funny.

*sigh*
