If you don't want to know the punchline...
look away now.
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!"
