Aaawww man, that was beautiful...that's a sure sign that I know I'm getting old.

...I like opera...:eek:

You would like the opera this song is from. It's from "Die Fledermaus" and, fittingly for this thread, it's about a lame joke that takes some twists the orignator never would have imagined.

The song occurs at a critical moment. Similar to the prisoners and three hats brainteaser, or perhaps more fittingly, the missionary and the adulterous natives brainteaser, people start to realize the situation they're in and become very eager to laugh along with Adele at the accusation that prompted the song.

Die Fledermaus - "Klange der Heimat"



Have you ever listened to the Portsmouth Sinfonia ? It's classical compositions played by classical musicians...on instruments they've never played...conducted by Brian Eno..perfect for this thread.

The dead swans lay in the stagnant pool.
They lay. They rotted. They turned
Around occasionally.
Bits of flesh dropped off them from
Time to time.
And sank into the pool's mire.
They also smelt a great deal.

A midget goes into his general practitioner for a physical and yearly checkup.

The doctor seems angry about something, slightly frustrated, hurrying through the exam without the usual good cheer and banter, huffing and puffing his way through things.

They get to the hernia exam, the midget has to stop the good doctor as he seems to be getting a little rough.

" Doc, ..are you ok, you seem to be a little upset about something ? "

" It's ok, this will be over soon, I'm just feeling a little teste.. "
