Like saying, "That's not Brain Science (or "Rocket Surgery)". A buddy once desribed an individual he knew as being "paralyzed from the waist up". Or maybe you mixed up song lyrics and came up with some strange images, or perhaps a new verse, like: (instead of I'll Tell Me Ma): My Pa told Ma, when he got home "Clean up the house; get off the phone!"... You know ye got `em. Let's hear `em! Testify, o ye brothers and sisters! |

Never know where I'm gonna have to improvise the lyrics... But playing blues ain't like opther songs since if ya get *Brain Fade* then all ya gotta do is throw in "Woke up this mornin..." and everything solves itself... Bobert |

When asked to explain it, I replied that I couldn't because I didn't know Latin. For a bit I had several members of the class singing it my way, too. Had I been left unchecked I could have changed the course of history! |

I have to say that our National anthem is not at all inspiring, but it's vastly improved if you replace the words: "Australian all let us rejoice" with "Australians all eat ostriches" Also now that it's nearly Christmas - I really like the carol about the "round young virgin tender and mild" |
