So where the hell is Sir John?

[Your Old Dog]

I know he took a vacation awhile back, did he like the beach and decide to stay?

[Evan]

I seem to recall some worries about concrete...

[snowman]

and a hell of a lot of sand...

It's the old story!
"The sexual life of the camel is stranger than anyone thinks
At the height of the mating season it tries to bugger the Sphinx
But the Sphinx's posterior orifice
is blocked by the sands of the Nile
Which accounts for the hump on the camel
and the Sphinx's inscrutable smile"

And no doubt when " Brave and bowed Sir John
returns from fighting foreign wars that care not for wounds and scars", he will fill us in- with the gory details.

The sources- the Gazira Gazinta and the Lambton Worm.

Ho, Ho for that classical education!Whose a close relative of Alice in Wonderland?
Next castle to Lambton.

Norm.

Norman, that mean we gotta ask him if the Sphinx was frowning when they parted company to see if he develooped any humps or had a good time?

Rumour has it that the donkey is dead.

Some fakir was responsible!

John sent me a nice worm and wheel a few weeks back, and in the correspondance he said he was going to be vacationing in some nice vacation spot - the Riviera or Morroco, some place like that - til after the New Year.

Hell of a swim after a night out between the two places.

Yea, but the Sphinx, are they smileing or frowning ?

[Norman Atkinson]

Sphinx is a singular noun- hence the need to breed more.
Her husband 'deserted' her.

"Her husband 'deserted' her."

Must be that dry humor
