Just taking a quick break from knitting shrouds to wish everyone a Happy Bastille Day! Big celebrations going on down in Tahiti, I can hear the drums all the way up here in the northern end of the Polynesian triangle.

In the interest of good taste, I shall refrain from using this Forum as a means of posting tasteless Bastille Day jokes that were put out to pasture decades ago. -- NOT!!!!


Marie Antoinette was playing upon her harpsichord one day when a page rushed in. Madame! he shouted. Do you know the peasants are starving and they demand bread?!

No, she replied. But hum a few bars and I'll fake it.


Question: What did King Louis say when his head hit the basket?
Answer: Operator, I've been cut off!
