(Truly we should blame the ale of those Britains, for that was a garbled word, uttered after a fine afternoon of sampline the various ales of the inn in which we'd rested from our journeys.)
Something like "ark..grail" I'd uttered, and those attending had become instantly alert. Ark? Grail? their wild eyes lighted at the prospect. Mary Maggie had all she could do to hold in her twitter. Fortunately, she did not ruin the moment. We have profitted mightily from that ale-borne slip 'o the tongue ever since, if you get my monetary meaning.

I guess youre right.
3. No, I havent heard it yet. But...please...break the joke into 7 parts.
Thats the joke! There is no more.
A man who hates dogs and children can't be all bad.

Don: I didn't know you had a cousin Penelope, Bill! Was she pretty? W. C.: Well, her face was so wrinkled it looked like seven miles of bad road. She had so many gold teeth, Don, she use to have to sleep with her head in a safe. She died in Bolivia. Don: Oh Bill, it must be hard to lose a relative. W. C.: It's almost impossible. -- W. C. Field

An old Indian saying: before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their moccasins. That way, when you criticize them, you’re a mile away and you have their moccasins.
