Today I went to the post office to mail off my tax returns. As I was being assisted Butterbeans and Suzie's song "I Want A Hot Dog For My Roll" started playing over the PA system. When the chorus started a woman in the next booth over snickered, at which point the postal employee assisting me looked over at her and said in a matter-of-fact manner: "Those double-entendres will get you every time."For those not familiar with the song, it contains bits of dialogue like the following:
Butterbeans: Now here's a dog that's long and lean.While doing the vital research for this post, I happened across this strange Butterbeans & Suzie takeoff I wrote last year. It is very, very puzzling. I don't remember much about writing it, except I think I looked up the word 'couch' in a bunch of thesauruses. (Thesauri?)
Suzie: No, that's not the kind of dog I need!
Butterbeans: Now here's a dog that's short and fat.
Suzie: Well, I sure need something different from that!
Butterbeans: Now, where's your roll?
Suzie: Here's my roll. Now where's your dog?
Butterbeans: Uh-uh! That roll of yours could fit a half a hog!
