   Do not they "walk" into a bar? I compiled an epic list of   
   English-related bar jokes by members of alt.usage.english.usage :   
   https://tinyurl.com/y8o3kgoy (links to the Google Groups). I have   
   to put aside my modesty and say that it is really worth reading.

   I know and love that song and songstress, it is Doris Day! I am   
   the happy ownder of a CD by AML+ with her songs remastered   
   straight from vinyl on esoteric vaccume tube equipment. To my   
   infinite regreat, AML+ passed away several years ago, and his   
   unique heritage is largely lost to the world.
