actually, a colporteur could be a lapsed parson, enticingly selling tracts to attractive farmer's landholding daughters.
>It's a song writer.
that seems so single-minded; I must be missing the double entente.

Gosh, and here I thought a colporteur was some lyricist singing about anything that went while carrying something bituminous to Newcastle.

Ahem. I say, ahem.
Miss Otis regrets that All through the Night I'm a Gigolo, but Night and Day the wisdom of Solomon says to Experiment and Begin the Begging because In the Still of the Night I Get a Kick out of You. But Anything Goes because You're the Top and Easy to Love, so Why Shouldn't I Rap Tap on Wood
to tell you I have Love for Sale and Ask the Physician if It's Bad for me that I Happen to Like New York. Let's Step Out and ask Mister and Missus Fitch if Anything Goes From This Moment On. My Heart Belongs to Daddy but its Alright with Me if you Don't Fence Me In.
Must STOP this. Must STOP this.
It's Just One of those Things.

And the pig got up and slowly walked away.

Not to ignore Faldage, but, Ted:
"I'm a worthless check, a total wreck, a flop,
But if baby I'm the bottom, you're the top..."
Edit: Oh, and please don't stop!

Do y'all know the last verse to "You're the Top"?! (It's not recorded much, she said, understating)
Plutarchi, if you care to respond, could you keep it under a screen's worth, please?

You're the top! You're the Tower of Babel.
You're the top! You're the Whitney Stable.
By the River Rhine, You're a sturdy stein of beer,
You're a dress from Saks's, You're next year's taxes,'
You're stratosphere.
You're my thoist, You're a Drumstick Lipstick,
You're da foist in da Irish svipstick,
I'm a frightened frog that can find no log to hop,
But if, Baby, I'm the bottom,
You're the top!
Lyrics: Cole Porter

>You're my thoist, You're a Drumstick Lipstick,
an early example of product insertion?
>You're da foist in da Irish svipstick
they just don't write lyrics like this any more.

Well, DubDub, as it turns out, the last verse is indeed a parody. Upon googling I discovered that Irving Berlin wrote it, not Cole Porter. I reproduce it in white to protect those who are prurient-sensitive: You're the top!
You're Miss Pinkham's tonic.
You're the top!
You're a high colonic.
You're the burning heat of a bridal suite in use
You're the breasts of Venus,
You're King Kong's penis,
You're self-abuse.
You're an arch from the Rome collection.
You're the starch in a groom's erection.
I'm a eunuch who has undergone an 'op',
But if, baby, I'm the bottom
You're the top. http://ernunnos.livejournal.com/819203.htmlalso http://www.time.com/time/sampler/article/0,8599,190220,00.html
