Was someone in the kitchen with Dinah when he got home?
Posted by: nursecindy | March 07, 2012 at 02:25 PM
Sounds more like he was fiddlin'.

Give him a break, Cindy. He's been working on the railroad, all the livelong day.

So ... he got off on those charges, eh?
(Seriously ... the story says: " ... the woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons ... " ... so, the accused in Britain does NOT have the right to know his accuser? Mebbe that's part of whut went worng back in the 1770s? ... all the objections to her accusation that occurred to me, were answered by the court system proceedings (according to the article) ... and, sumwhut surprisingly, a reasonably decent job of writing, this time around ... )

The rest of the band probably got off at the last stop.

It got really disturbing when a friend joined in for "Dueling Banjos."

"...with a banjo on his knee..."
Now, that's just bragging.

Didn't Imaginary Banjos open for Lynyrd Skynyrd?
Posted by: oneblankspace | March 07, 2012 at 02:53 PM
So in essence his defense was "Don't you cry over me. I've come from Basingstoke with a banjo on me knee?"
Posted by: Elon | March 07, 2012 at 02:58 PM
Bet he was pickin' and grinnin', but not like this....
(Possibly some crimes associated with these jokes)

Oneblank, I think it was Alabama.

Key quote:
‘He was doing what he shouldn’t have been doing, without a shadow of a doubt. I felt absolutely violated. I was an emotional wreck at the time. I was furious. The longer I stood there the more angry I got.’
Seeing a person playing air banjo can do that to some people.
I had a professor in college who was playing air violin -- Brandenburg Concerto #3, first movement. He kept on going back and replaying the same part with a confused look on his face. In the middle of the final exam.
I looked up and said "F Natural."
"What?" he responded.
"Your F Natural gets resolved on the first beat of the next measure by the viola," I responded.
"Oh, you're right" and he continued with the next phrases.
I had more fun ignoring the stares of my classmates than a normal human being would experience. But then again, I am a recovering viola player.

He committed a sex act on a train? Is it that same guy that was taped humping his Chevy a year or so ago? Guess he's raised his sights.
Posted by: padraig | March 07, 2012 at 06:21 PM
NMUA was that also your grade?
Posted by: ferj064 | March 07, 2012 at 09:07 PM
Strummin' the banjo...is that what they're calling it these days?
Posted by: Dmentd | March 07, 2012 at 09:47 PM
ferj--
I walked in and out with a 440 A.
(No one else will understand why that is a joke, but I thought I would try)
Posted by: Not My Usual Alias | March 08, 2012 at 08:50 AM
(I got a glimmer of an idea, NMUA ... but it's languishin' on the sidelines, waitin' fer approval of a 404 permit ... )

Hey, in Alabama when we strum our ol' banjos, Dinah blows our horn, IYKWIM...
Posted by: Allen at Division | March 08, 2012 at 09:36 AM
The first 10 seconds it's adjusting your underwear. The next 10 minutes is playin' with yourself.
Posted by: EyeGore | March 08, 2012 at 09:49 AM
Yes, Strumming the Old Banjo is in fact a euphemism, right up there with Hiking the Appalachian Trail.
Posted by: Omniskeptic | March 08, 2012 at 11:28 AM
Omni' ... would that be considered as "doin' it with a backpack" ... ?
