There's a story that someone once asked Don McLean what the song American Pie really meant, and he said, "It means I never have to do a day's work ever again", or words to that effect.

I was told it was to do with the assassination of president John F Kennedy, at a time when Don Mclean was supposedly a newspaper delivery guy at the time. No idea if it is true. Your story might be more accurate!!

I heard that "the night the music died" referred to the death of Buddy Holly in a plane crash.

I feel the same about Benjamin Britten

The woman he is having the affair with is his wife's friend, which means his wife is also having an affair.

I think Stu was querying #1223 rather than #1241....

At least, I hope he was....

I wonder why people insist on having long conversations with each other on a JOKE THREAD!!

Maybe because they have something to add that is relevant to the joke, and starting a separate thread wouldn't make sense.

Grabs popcorn, and awaits rib-tickler from PhilTilson...

Up the hill wet, down dry ?

Föhn effect, caused by the wet adiabatic lapse rates and dry adiabatic lapse rates being different... perhaps the lassie was a pilot

Surely not, Morag. I would've thought that the reciprocal filter would havetaken care of that....unless, of course, the medial splines didn't quite line up.
Amateurs, huh?!
