I wouldn’t think it’d be common thing that **crumpets** would take their Johns out for tea. ---

Yes, it’s far more likely that someone would blow the **strumpet,** but since it’s a kind of horn, it makes perfect sense. ---

I don’t think Donald **Trumpet** makes perfect sense when he talks about Obama being a native of Kenya. ---

I don’t see how he’d know anyway. Victor **Trump** was from Australia. (Lovely cricketer too. Shame about the Bright’s Disease. ☹ ) ---

Was he in that movie _ **Trumper** Old Men_? Sophia Loren looked pretty good in that for an old broad, although Ann Margret in the first movie was pretty hot too. ---

Show a little more respect! I wouldn’t throw either Sophia Loren or Ann Margaret in the\*\* grumpier \*\*or any other large receptacle for trash. ---

ninja’d I agree with you there, you definitely don’t want to throw your trash in front of the fire station, the firefighters wouldn’t be able to get their **dumper** out when there’s a fire. ---

Yeah, it sucks when you go to the amusement park and all the **pumper** cars are out of service. ---

A lot of people are amused when the **Bumper** family’s dogs steal the turkey in _A Christmas Story_. ---

Yes, I think that happened every time **Rumpus** woke up - Professor Yaffle and all the others would come to life too and have all sorts of adventures, until Rumpus went back to sleep again and turned into a stuffed cat, baggy and a bit loose at the seams. ---

I’d almost certainly wake up if a Scotsman started playing the **Bagpuss** under my window in the morning! ---

I saw some **bagpipes** under my window this morning so I started counting them before they flew away: “One for sorrow, two for joy…” ---

My son was making **magpies** after the rain today, but he wasn’t coutning them like that. I had to give him a bath though, that’s for sure. ---

That’s odd. I thought **Mudpie** was a Richard Pryor character from his standup. ---

No, but Leon **Mudbone** is quite a character – he sings such old-time songs as “Shine on Harvest Moon” and “Marie” while dressed like a vaudeville performer. ---

I saw that film “ **Redbone** ” with Brendan Fraser in it. Weird film. Especially the bit where he’s a giant carrot. ---

It had a fine old rhythm and blues song in it, too. “I got a girl named **Monkeybone** She’s as skinny as a stick of macaroni You always see her dancing with her blue jeans on Yeah she ain’t no fat, just skin and bones.” ---

Catchy tune but I don’t remember the movie **Bony Maroni** featuring a song with those lyrics, I mostly remember those splurge guns and the cream pie fight. ---

Isn’t a **Bugsy Malone** a kind of Swiss chocolate bar that comes in a prism-shaped box? It’s quite creamy-tasting chocolate - maybe that’s what’s confusing you.
