Funny stuff, Rod! Is there still a URL for it?

Re: Phuc Q and Sukhdeep.

Of course this does work both ways. A friend of mine named Margaret used to go by a common abbreviation thereof until she moved to a Javanese-speaking area, where she eventually found out this was the Javanese for smegma.

wow! Thanks for the interesting historical background paulb! it's a shame that the alcoholic lyrics didn't become popular as well. They sound pretty funny. Do you know where I could get ahold of them?? By the way, our group is called Jazz Happens!

One more question: Who is Mr. Moto?? "Oops, Mr. Moto I'm a coffeepot."?

url for audio files?

Sorry, can't find one. But I have the files so I will see if I can put them on the drive, if that is allowed.

Quick Google search yielded this :

"Mr. Moto was a mild-mannered, Japanese detective that was the basis for a series of eight films (1937-39) by Twentieth Century-Fox from the stories of novelist John P. Marquand. Peter Lorre portrays Kentaro Moto (I.A. Moto in Marquand's novels), who was very much unlike Charlie Chan in that he was the master of disguises and physically more active, often using ju-jistsu."

I remember those films and I loved them ... but remember I was only 10-years-old!!
