Couldn’t you just say “blabbermouth” ?

Then there was the barber of King ___ (I’ve heard numerous versions with different kings… sometimes it’s Midas).

Story goes that Midas (or whatever king it is in the version you’ve heard) had the ears of a donkey. Nobody knew, because he always kept them under his hair and his crown, but once a year, a barber would be brought in to give him a haircut. The barber was ordered (under threat of execution) never to tall anyone about the king’s ears. But after years of keeping this to himself, the barber just had to tell SOMEONE, so he whispered it to the grass.

Then a breeze blew through the grass, and the words “The king has ass ears” wafted through the land, until EVERYBODY knew it.

I heard this as “two horns” instead of “ass ears”. Each piece of grass whispered it to the other until everyone knew.

Crow and Servo.

JOEL: Can you guys keep a secret?
SERVO: Nope!
Crow: Never could, never will!

Elaine, also of “Seinfeld,” was notorious for being unable to keep a secret. See, especially, the backwards episode (where they go to India for Sue Ellen’s wedding). Get her liquored up and she’ll reveal any secret.

Squire Trelawney couldn’t keep the destination of their expedition to Treasure Island a secret from anyone.

The Oracle of Delphi, natch. Her blabbermouthing is legendarily cryptic, but once you figure out what the hell she’s talking about, any secrets she has are told.
