Aww...I was just testing.  As if I'd make a damn fool mistake like
that.  And I already have a doctrate in advanced lemurology from the
University of Samarkand.  Lemurs don't drink Becks I can tell you,
only the finest Bohemian hops for their delicate palettes.

In Noah's Ark?  The number 46 from t'Market?  They jumped?  Hopped?
Skipped the light fandango?  I give up.  Back to school for me, I
guess.  And what about their noses? Don't keep us in suspense, boy.
Belle and Sebastian's mascot?  Why stop there?  A fire-breathing lemur
should stand with pride on their coat of arms, with an inspirational
motto (which I can't think of right now).

Or Bangor.  Oh, did you know Fiddlers Dram only got to number three
with 'The day we went to Bangor' (oh yes, I have my sources)?  And
what exactly is a fiddler's dram?  Is it like a baker's dozen?  Or
like tennis elbow.  Sorry, no fiddling for me tonight, I've got a
terrible dram.  I think we should be told.

Somebody please write something...
