+ | ====== The Calming Tuning Forks ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | As requested by the Lord Peter Wyndham-Smythe on the twenty third night of March in bequest of Baron Von Munchausen to one Lady Katerina du Barbershoppe. Being transcripts of some merit. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Lady Katerina du Barbershoppe, | ||
+ | |||
+ | I don't like to boast about that sort of thing, of course. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Captain Sir Robert: I understand that the natural bird song of the native Louisiana condor is in fact the most beautiful in all the world.** | ||
+ | |||
+ | You're quite right there, actually. | ||
+ | I was wandering through the wilds of Louisiana, looking for condors... | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Lord Peter: It must have been particularly difficult as condors subsist entirely on a diet of lard, which had been in short supply recently in Louisiana** | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Hon. Hyacynth: Due to a French Revulsion.** | ||
+ | |||
+ | Curse them all, the terrible French. | ||
+ | |||
+ | So there I was, with my tuning fork... | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Lady Floria: Was this not a the time of the great Tuning Fork Strike? | ||
+ | |||
+ | It was a bit. Of course I do also prefer to grease up my tuning fork with lard as well, which was quite an issue. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Hon. Hyacynth: Don't you find that a tuning fork sounds at its best when kept in a sweet potato skin?** | ||
+ | |||
+ | Well, that can be a way to preserve the tone. I actually prefer a regular or common potato over the sweet potato. | ||
+ | I was having a great deal of trouble getting my tuning fork to sing out, as established before the darn thing was on strike. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Baron Celsius: The native recognised your tuning fork I would imagine?** | ||
+ | |||
+ | Possibly yes, I did kind of poke him in the eye with it. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Baronet Clive: I was under the impression that the tuning fork is a relative of the mermaid, which hunts in packs. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The tuning fork is a tame beast. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Lord Peter: It's so tame in fact, it's unionised.** | ||
+ | |||
+ | Indeed, and when you get 4 or 5 tuning forks together in a box in their potato skin, they tend to form unions. | ||
+ | I was poking the natives in the eye when I discovered that the content of the native eye is actually better than lard. So my tuning fork began to sing out and I was able to strike one of the natives on the head and the [sung note] seemed to hypnotise them. They all went [dazed expression]. | ||
+ | So I formed them all up into four groups - the basses, the tenors, the leads, the baritones which are the superior part of the barbershop chorus. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Lady Floria: I imagine there must have been some problem with the tone deaf natives refusing to fall into line.** | ||
+ | |||
+ | Initially there was, but you would be quite surprised what a good poke in the eye... | ||
+ | There were a couple that were still problematic, | ||
