Do not they "walk" into a bar? I compiled an epic list of
English-related bar jokes by members of alt.usage.english.usage :

to put aside my modesty and say that it is really worth reading.

I know and love that song and songstress, it is Doris Day! I am
the happy ownder of a CD by AML+ with her songs remastered
straight from vinyl on esoteric vaccume tube equipment. To my
infinite regreat, AML+ passed away several years ago, and his
unique heritage is largely lost to the world.
