When I first heard the old song "Lida Rose" sung by a barbershop quarter, I thought they were singing, "Light a rose, I'm home again, Rose ..." It didn't make sense, of course -- you can light a match, a candle, or even some kinds of weeds, but I had never heard of lighting roses and wasn't sure why one would want to!

Micca, That "Pity mice implicitly" is priceless!

Liz, the Kenny Rogers lyric is "...400 children and a crop (crap) in the fields... ."

Also,Liz, what kid of knife DID Matty wish he had?
My college professor (who knows better) once mentioned in a class the play "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolfe," in which "... the couple hurl epitaphs at each other." My preacher dad (who also knows better) once cited in a sermon "...'Pilgrim's Progress' by Paul Bunyan."

Barbara, I don't know if I'd trade "ten of your cities" for a bridge, but I'd consider it for "marrying rich and the pleasures it brings!"

Also, I love that "You've been outright offensive for so long now! "
