Three blind mice?

Inchmee and Pinchmee went down to the river. Inchmee fell in. Who was left to save him?
getting my thumb and fore finger ready...

Dear musck: Inchmee and Pinchmee baffled search attempts.

When I was ten, I was puzzled by little half-dollar sized aluminum containers seen in the gutter that said on the lid: Three Merry Widows, Agnes, Mabel, and Becky.

It used to be a merry prank to put one of the Three Merry Widows over tailpipe of a parked car. When owner started motor, back pressure made it misbehave, while an obscened apparition was thrashing around until it burst, behind the automobile.

Dear Faldage: Diligent search revealed no citations of Beulah's Ass, only Beulah Land.

I disremember Sunday School joke about the stretchiest man in the Bible, who tied his ass to a tree and walked fifty miles.

And this grouping that follows would never appear on anybody's list 'cept mine, but I do think of this triad:

alacrity, celerity, legerity
