A Slip of the Tongue
A
Slip of the Tongue
People will do anything
to see a free show even if it is a bad one. When the news got around that a
variety show would be presented at our local cinema by the P. and U. Birdseed Company, we all rushed to see it. We had to queue for hours to get in and there
must have been several hundred people present just before the show began.
Unfortunately, the show was one of the dullest we have ever seen. Those who
failed to get in need not have felt disappointed as many of the artists who
should have appeared did not come. The only funny things we heard that evening
came from the advertiser at the beginning of the programmer. He was obviously
very nervous and for some minutes stood awkwardly before the microphone. As
soon as he opened his mouth, everyone burst out laughing. We all know what the
poor man should have said, but what he actually said was “This is the poo and
The Seed Bird Company. Good ladies evening and gentlemen!”
