I have been assured by an actual historian that this is an authentic Victorian Era joke (and you thought the Victorians had no sense of humor).
OK, I just said they had a sense of humor. I didn’t say they had a good sense of humor.
Also, in about two and a half weeks on New Year’s Eve, we will also be celebrating the premiere performance of TPOP – in New York City – on December 31, 1879. This will be its 138th birthday. (If it had been born in Leap Year on the 29th of February and if you went by birthdays, by a simple arithmetical process you will soon discover it would just be 34 and a half years old.)
The show, which has never been off the stage and is just as popular as it ever was; it’s popularity has never flagged. I saw a production just this last weekend (December 10) that filled a large theater auditorium to capacity.
If the sisters of William Penn’s mother opened a pie shop, what would you call their price list?
The pie rates of Penn’s aunts.
