It's a good joke, you just don't tell it very well.

"Beautiful Dreamer" or "A Public House whose landlord has failed to anticipate the level of demand for a popular brew due to exceptionally hot weather and has run out of stock" From one of the colonies, I think.

I know someone who could sing that. Not me. You'll never get me into a bunny girl outfit. {There he was, with a white fluffy tail, pissing in the urinals, saying to the locals "What's the matter, never sen a boke in a bunny girl outfit before...")

What's teh tune...?

The Lingerie Song

Each Wednesday night while the kids are asleep
And me wife's at the bingo it's upstairs I creep
I throw me old coveralls down on the floor
And go rummaging into the top dresser drawer
(Chorus)
Then I swing to the left, I swing to the right
Just prancing and dancing well into the night
Oh there's nothing on earth as pleasing to me
As dancing around in me wife's lingerie

Well that's been my hobby for six years or so
And I feel that it's time for to let yous all know
I suppose it might come as a terrible shock
Ah can you just imagine me wearing a smock
(Chorus)
As I swing to the left and I swing to the right
Just prancing and dancing well into the night
Oh there's nothing on earth as pleasing to me
As dancing around in me wife's lingerie

Last Saturday night on me way to the bar
I went to confessions to see Father Maher
Says he "Now my son, won't you tell me what's wrong?"
Ah says I "Hold on Father, I'll sing you my song."
(Chorus)
I swing to the left, I swing to the right
Just prancing and dancing well into the night
For there's nothing on earth that'll give your heart cheer
Like dancing around in your wife's ould brazier

Well ould Father Maher gave a terrible shout
Then he reached through the curtain and gave me a clout
For penance he gave me the whole rosary
Saying 'Try not to wrinkle your wife's hosiery"
(Chorus)
As I swing to the left and I swing to the right
Just prancing and dancing well into the night
Oh there's nothing on earth as pleasing to me
As dancing around in me wife's lingerie

Well that's been my story I know it's absurd
But I've told you the truth to the very last word
I'm a little uncomfortable singing this song
But I think it's because I am wearing a thong
(Chorus)
As I swing to the left and I swing to the right
Just prancing and dancing well into the night
Oh there's nothing on earth as pleasing to me
As dancing around in me wife's lingerie
(Chorus)
Oh I swing to the left, I swing to the right
Just prancing and dancing well into the night
For there's nothing on earth that'll give your heart cheer
Like dancing around in your wife's UN DER WEAR!

Jim You're as old as you feel.
Sometimes I feel like a 17 year old, but they are getting difficult to get hold of.(#302)

My hard case is alredy under the bed. Too heavy to drag about. The soft case hangs easy over the shoulder.

Buggered if I'm giving up yet. Enjoy it too much.
Now if you don't enjoy it . . . . Find something else.

When YOU stop enjoying what you are performing, it is time to quit. You are not being fair to your audience or yourself.

The point is not that it's time to put the guitar under the bed--why would anybody want to do that?   It's that there are an awful lot of really talented people whose BMI--that artificial straitjacket devised by the medical profession--- doesn't qualify as "healthy". And there might be something to that. What we need is those people to do something about the situation if at all possible. And we need it for the most selfish of reasons--we want all those talented people to be with us and share their talents with us as long as possible. And I'm afraid we're in danger of losing some--way before their time.

My favourite performer passed away recently. I bought one of his more recent albums and regretted it. However, his concerts were outstanding, by all accounts, until he stopped. I didn't begrudge him at all.
On the other side of the coin, A performer, the same age as myself and whom I knew in my younger days, made his way to the top of the Canadian scene. I went to see his concert, having not seen him for about 15 years and was saddened by his uninspired, lacklustre performance. I bought his album, listened to it once then put it in an envelope and mailed it back to him. It's the only time in my life that I've done such a thing but to see so much talent just disintegrate maddened as much as it saddened me.
It was wrong of me, I know and it's what I think of each time I hear myself say "I get really upset when someone doesn't live up to my expectations".
Different rules for different circumstances, I suppose.
