Brian, the world's leading expert on European
wasps and the sounds that they make, is taking
a stroll down his local high street. As he
passes by the record shop, a sign catches
his eye. "Just Released - New LP - Wasps of
the World & the sounds that they make -
available now"
Unable to resist the temptation, Brian goes
into the shop. "I am the world's leading
expert on European wasps and the sounds
that they make. I'd very much like to listen
to the new LP you have advertised in
the window."
"Certainly, Sir," says the young man behind
the counter. "If you'd like to step into
the booth and put on the headphones, I'll
put the LP on for you."
Brian, the world's leading expert on
European wasps, goes into the booth and puts
on the earphones. Ten minutes later, he comes
out of the booth and announces, "I am the
world's leading expert on European wasps
and the sounds that they make and yet I
recognised none of those."
"I'm sorry Sir", says the young assistant.
"If you'd care to step into the booth, I
can let you have another 10 minutes."
Brian, the world's leading expert on
European wasps and the sounds they make,
steps back into the booth and replaces
the headphones. Ten minutes later, he comes
out of the booth shaking his head. "I don't
understand it", he says, "I am the worlds
leading expert on European wasps and the
sounds that they make, and yet I still
can't recognise any of those!"
"I really am terribly sorry", says the
young assistant...
"I've just realised I was playing you
the bee side!"
