Definition of "a little homophobic"
A rat with a small penis and an anus fetish. "FREAK"

Does anyone know what rats are good for, other than leaving shit trails
everywhere?

If you skinned them you'd have to sew two of them together to make a half
decent cock warming sock. There's hardly enough meat on them to make a
sandwich, and they taste like shit. They are too soft to use as wheel stops
and too big for golf.
They are infested with germs, and are definitely definitely definitely "not
funny"

Oh yeah I almost forgot to remind you, not to be too depressed when you get
you're at your wits end. Think positively, be grateful that it's a short

"The surry with the fringe on top" is the name of a song in the
musical "Oklahoma!", by Rodgers and Hammerstein.

The joke is a Spoonerism on it.

Better Spoonerisms include:

___________________________________________________________________________

The first astronaut to reach the moon had barely climbed out of his
rocket ship when a host of peculiar-looking men descended upon him.
They had faces made of green tin with eyes that looked like the
headlights of a Manhattan subway train.

"Who are you?" gasped the astronaut. "We are the Furries," explained
the little men. "This part of the moon is our domain."

"Good enough," said the astronaut, with a nod. "Now please take me
to your leader." It developed that the leader looked just like all
the other Furries - with one additional feature. Out of the top of
his head grew a large hypodermic needle.

"Wh-what do they call you?" stammered the astronaut.

"I," answered the leader modestly, "am the Furry with the syringe
on top."

There are hundreds jokes involving spoonerisms. Here are a few that I
remember:


Q: Whats the difference between a pickpocket and a peeping tom?
A: A pickpocket snatches watches.

Q: Whats the difference between a magic show and and a parade of
beautiful women?
A: A magic show is a series of cunning stunts.

Q: Whats the difference between a tribe of pygmies and a womens cross
country team?
A: A tribe of pygmies is a bunch of cunning runts.

And, of course there is the old joke about the king of one of the
islands in the South Pacific who began to collect the old chairs of
past monarchs. He stored them in his traditional thatched roof hut.

The hut caught fire one night and his entire collection was lost. This
proves the old saying:

People who live in grass houses shouldn't stow thrones.

This punchline is usually followed by a long-suffering groan. I don't
know why. I like puns and spoonerisms. but then I also like bagpipe
music. Go figure.

The song is named "surry with the fring on top". It's from Oklahoma, a
musical from the 50s. A surry was a horse drawn carrige with a canvas cover
over the top to protect the occupants from the sun. It was popular for
Sunday afternoon courting purposes, back before my time.

It's definitely not by Gilbert and Sulliven, since Gilbert died on
May 29, 1911, and Sulliven died in Nov. 22, 1900. The musical Oklahoma!
was written in 1943 by Oscar Hammerstein II and Richard Rodgers, winning
them the Pulitzer Prize in 1944.

It's worth looking up Jasper Carrott's Spoonerism version of the song
"Chastity Belt" (Bastity Chelt) for some good ones.

Classsic one (from Dr Spooner himself) was "I came on the town drain"
instead of "down train".

Why did Rev. Spooner need a handful of quarters?
He wanted to fake more cone falls.

Where did Rev. Spooner find repair instructions?
In his Moaner's Annual.

How can Rev. Spooner score in football?
By making a Dutch town.

'Twas a cruel twist of fate that turned the Rev.
Spooner from birdwatcher to word botcher ....'

Cheers

"Oklahoma!" is by Rogers and Hammerstein. Gilbert and Sullivan were a half-century or so earlier.

Omg, it’s a Rodgers and Hammerstein song, “ Surrey with the Fringe On Top, from their musical “ Oklahoma”. Furry with the syringe on top is a malapropism of the song title.
