A friend of mine opened a pet shop a few years ago. He quickly discovered that he needed a helper to do some of the less glorious tasks. So he hired a teenager named, Hugh to sweep up the place in the afternoons after school. Hugh proved to be both dependable and conscientious. My friend soon came to rely heavily upon him.

One afternoon I ran into my friend and asked him how Hugh was working out.

"That worthless SOB?" He grunted. "It was the busiest part of the day, yesterday when Hugh accidentally backed into a fish tank full of eels and knocked it over. Instead of trying to scoop up as many as possible and get them back into the tank, he simply grabbed his coat and walked out of the store. Hugh picked a fine time to leave me loose eels!"

(Sigh...)

Hmm. That's better than the one I know.

(short version) Fellow was racing down the mountainside in his sports car, then sang out, "You picked a fine time to leave me, loose wheel!"

Just remembered something...When that song first came out I heard it as "four HUNDRED children and a crop in the field".....I kept thinking how dumb Lucille must be, I think if I was her I would have left after the first 50!!

Now, Steve, if a song can generate all that, it MUST be a folk song.
NOT!

Ya' know Banjer, if you thought she had 400 children, maybe the condom thread WOULD have been useful.catspaw
