“Speaking of Prison Cells”
But this involves a contradiction- we stayed home and did our lovemaking in bed
- Professor Palgrave had found 288 lyrics
- speaking of prison cells
- and I am not a walking corpse
- Happy Birthday to you!
“Speaking of prison cells,” said Professor Palgrave, “once my wife and I were arrested for public indecency. Let me tell you, after spending a few hours in police custody, we wished we stayed home and did our lovemaking in bed!”
His grad students chuckled and blushed at the thought of the portly professor in such a predicament, though he was the best teacher in the music department.
Professor Palgrave had found 288 lyrics to unreleased John Lennon songs in a shoe box at an auction in Liverpool, England, thus cementing his notoriety among his students, and in the music press.
“But this involves a contradiction, this story of yours, Professor,” said one of the newer students. “I thought you said you weren’t married.”
“And I am not a walking corpse, either,” said the professor grumpily. “But I feel like one sometimes. My wife left me shortly after the unfortunate incident I just related to you. She couldn’t stand the shame. She left on my birthday of all days.”
“Well, Happy Birthday to you!” said his teaching assistant sarcastically. “That’s pretty heartless.”
