misheard lyrics

There once was a girl from Finland
Who liked to take sailors inland
She'd go to the bog
And do a big log
And show them what she'd done in-hand

And show them what she'd done in-hand

That doesn't scan. I seem to remember that one of Diane's limericks was deleted because it didn't scan.

I dare the the commonest one is those who sing

'Please don't break my heart, my achy breaky heart'

instead of

' please don't tell my heart......'

Although probably less a case of mishearing, than being conditioned by umpteen heart breaking lyrics.

And anyway, if you sing a long to that one you're not right anyway........

Jar of farts I actually collected one such item - in my last year @ primary school - when we did a bit of science and I saw a jam jar holding water upside down when the opening was submerged - tried it out in the bath So I became a plumber " who do you think you are running round leaving scars , collecting your jar of farts "
