This topic lives or dies with you guys, so let's have some feedback.




...Please?



Anyway, I'd like to nominate the last Stanza of Bob Dylan's 115th Dream. It goes:

Well, the last I heard of cap'n A-rab
He was stuck on a whale
That was married to the deputy
Sheriff of the jail
But the funniest thing was
When I was leavin' the bay
I saw three ships a-sailin'
They were all heading my way
I asked the captain what his name was
And how come he didn't drive a truck
He said his name was Columbus
I just said, "Good luck."

It's funnier if you've heard the whole song. If you're interested, I guess you could nab it off of iTunes or just look up the lyrics to the song (try here: http://bobdylan.com/songs/115dream.html)

But for those of you who don't read books...
