I was seated at the High Table at a Far Isles May Revel and the young lady who was that year's May Queen was plonked down beside me. She did her best to make conversaton with my exalted self and said (she being from the village of Chadwell) "I am the village beekeeper."
Unfortunately, my defective cerebral software meant that I heard "I am the Finnish beekeeper." Which gnomic and arcane statement I had no better reply to than "Ahhh, ummm... Indeed." She must have thought me an idiot.
The only good thing that came out of this was that I included a character called 'The Finnish Beekeeper' as one of the Secret Masters of the Universe in a conspiratorial UFOs-Time Travellers-Wewewolves-Atlantean Magicians roleplaying game set in the 1950s.
My ears are funny too....
