For 17th April

 

Said the Highwayman.

Noble lord in carriage: "Lupins?"

Highwayman, impatiently: "Yes, yes, Lupins. Come on, hand them over."

Lady in carriage: "What, the flower Lupins?"

Highwayman (sarcastically) "Yes. The flower Lupins. Come on, hand 'em over."

Noble lord in carriage: "But we don't have any Lupins!"

Highwayman, with restraint: "I happen to know, that this is the Lupin Express."

Noble lord in carriage, pulling bunch of Lupins from under seat: "Damn!"


 Anyone under the age of about 40 won't have a clue what that means, and the rest of are now singing "Dennis Moore, Dennis Moore, galloping through the sward, Dennis Moore, Dennis Moore, with his horse Concorde," for the rest of the day.

Why this nostalgic glance back at a very old Monty Python sketch? Yesterday...
