George Brown

[Caran]

Did anyone see the snippet about George Brown attending a function in South America, heard music and tottered over to a fetching figure in a purple dress. "May I have this dance with you" he asked. After an icy silence came the reply. Mr Brown there are three reasons I will not dance with you. The first I fear is that you have had a little too much to drink. No two is the music that is playing is not a waltz it is the Peruvian National Anyhem. And the third reason that we may not dance is that I am the Cardinal Archbishop of Lima.
I know it's an old one but I'd did make me laugh.

The euphemism for his often being drunk, incapable and outrageous, was usually put that he was, "tired and emotional".

[tonyav]

I thought so, Caran.

[Caran]
