Thread Name: Knock! Knock! (who's there?)
Subject: RE: Knock! Knock! (who's there?)
I can't recall where these originate (cit. req.)
A linguist's joke:
Knock knock.
--Who's there?
Objective case.
--Objective case who?
No, objective case *whom*.
===================
Frappe, frappe.
-- Qui est la?
Loss
-- Loss qui?
Oui, frappe, frappe! (Knock knock)
====================
and to be faintly music related...
Knock! Knock!
--Who's there?
Caprice.
--Caprice who?
That's show biz...
=========================
and so to bed.
