Talked Like a Tailor
The members of the choir were practicing the well known anthem “As the Hart Pants After the Water Brooks.”
The rendering of the opening stages was apparently not quite to the satisfaction of the gentleman who wielded the baton.
He considered it necessary, therefore, to tender some advice to the soprano section, and caused great consternation and not a little embarrassment among his flock by the following announcement:
“Ladies, your expression is simply splendid, but the time is very poor—really, your pants are far too long.”
