Good title Pug.
And while we’re all in a silly mood.
I once had to make a hasty exit from an young ladies bedroom as her father turned the hall door key to come in, the flat was five stories up so I opened the window, climbed the drainpipe and got onto the roof until he went back out again. Some fella in the street below, Peter Rogers was his name, had a camera and filmed me climbing up to the roof, he made a short film and called it “Carry on up the Drainpipe” that was the first carry on film ever made, the rest is history as they say.
Watched Hitchcocks film “Spellbound” last night, it was worth watching again, nice twist at the end too. Funny how one notices little things they overlooked before in films. Two psycho analysts, male and female staying in a boarding house, they are going to their separate bedrooms for the night and he says to her “Goodnight Dear, and happy dreams, we’ll analyse them over breakfast in the morning” Could you imagine being married to one of them? especially if you had any guilty secrets.
Talk about workaholics!
Our school never did any chemistry or biology stuff but I did have a go at analysing a frog in me dads shed when I was a lad. It was already dead when I found it, the brother and me used drawing pins to secure his arms and legs to the bench and opened it up with a used Mac’s Smile razor blade but we found nothing of any interest there, only guts and green gooey stuff, but mostly lots of guts, so we sellotaped his guts back in and buried him in the side garden beside the rose bush, we were always tidy lads.
One thing we learned from the experiment, it takes a lot of guts to be a frog.
