on a happier note, a middle-aged urban philosopher was telling his friend about the futility of life's illusions, and cited "Sweet Dreams" by the Eurythmics as an example. Then he proceeded to sing it. Then I joined in. Then half of the bus. Then someone started dancing in their seat. Then the bus stopped and we all got off.

It was a 10 southbound to downtown. Usually there is either dead silence or cussing over the phone, although there is a clutch of older soccer mom types who camp out in the back of the bus early on on their way to work, who are pretty hysterical.

@BiUK: "What Wodehouse writes," said Douglas Adams, "is pure word music. It matters not one whit that he writes endless variations on a theme of pig kidnappings, lofty butlers, and ludicrous impostures. He is the greatest musician of the English language."

@Sem on a par with Dylan Thomas for his use of language. As you say, the plots were secondary to the way of writing them.

He's cute ain't he? Only problem is, he's got a little bit a Mississippi leg hound in 'im. If the mood catches him right, he'll grab your leg and just go to town. You don't want him around if you're wearing short pants, if you know what I mean. Word of warning though, if he does lay into ya, it's best to just let 'im finish.
