Three Reasons Not to Dance

This almost didn't happen but that's no reason not to repeat it.

Tis said of George Brown, late deputy leader of the British Labour Party, and a notorious lush, that he spotted a remarkable creature in a floor-length red frock, and that he lumbered over and asked her to dance.

"I won't dance with you for three reasons," came the response.

"First, you're drunk."

"Second, that is not a waltz, it's the Peruvian National Anthem."

"And third, I am the Cardinal Archbishop of Montevideo."
