"The level of sexual knowledge in Ireland was unbelieveably low only a generation ago, and probably was even lower in times past."
My dads step-mother was Irish, and used to refer to sex as "a-cup-o-tea-and itself".
But...
I can't believe that nobody has mentioned
"Not safe with a razor" by L.E.McCullough
as per Lunasa book and Merry Sisters Of Fate.

- Tell us something.: Been a fluter, citternist, and uilleann piper; committed now to the way of the harp.
Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps. - Location: Lefse country

"Oh, the sexual life of the camel
Isn't what everyone thinks,
One night in a moment of passion
He tried to bugger the sphinx.
Now the sphinx's posterior region
Is clogged with the sands of the Nile,
Which accounts for the hump on the camel
And the sphinx's inscrutable smile."

- Tell us something.: Just updating my profile after 16+ years of C&F membership. Sold most of my flutes, play the ones I still own and occasionally still enjoy coming here and read about flute related subjects.

- Tell us something.: "Tell us something" hits me a bit like someone asking me to tell a joke. I can always think of a hundred of them until someone asks me for one. You know how it is. Right now, I can't think of "something" to tell you. But I have to use at least 100 characters to inform you of that.

I was just goign to post about this, I was playing a thoroughly enjoyable session tonight in a small country pub on the back arse of nowhere with fiddler Eamonn McGivney and concertinaplayer Kitty Hayes. A half hour ago before I went off into the frozen blackness that is West Clare at two in the morning today, Eamonn sang 'the Sexual life of the Camel'. The words are by Noel Coward. The version I got was slightly less polite in it's description of the posterior region.

Some time ago at session, one of the group just could not remember the name of a particular tune, so he made up one.
"Katy get the door while I shave the chicken's lips"
I've heard it get used several times when someone can't remember a tune-name.
Of course, some of the best ones are the mis-heard ones. "Mickey chewing bubblegum" somehow got heard by another session member as "Naked chewing bubblegum".
