JanuaryLight: raincoat

52 Comments

Why am I posting a picture of a raincoat? Because it reminds me of this couplet from the song Big shot, by the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, which has always tickled me:

A punk stopped me on the street. He said, “You got a light, Mac?”
I said, “No, but I’ve got a dark brown overcoat.”

I don’t have a dark brown overcoat, but I do have a light mac! On this penultimate day of the January Squares words ending in light challenge I hope you will also delight in the joke. Or maybe you won’t. Forgive me, Becky, for mucking about with your theme.

  13. Oh, very good!! You got away with it, in my book. No worse than the one that goes “what do you call a man in a raincoat walking through a graveyard?” ‘Max Bygraves!’………

  17. Well the challenge was designed to give us all some light relief during the dark month of January so I think you have hit the nail on the head! Had me smiling 🙂

    [When I was younger I always wanted a pale trench coat, but whenever I tried one on I used to look like a lumpy parcel tied up with string in the middle! Not the elegant, sexy lady I wanted to be… ]

  18. The best thing this morning. I’ve had bronchitis now for nearly 3 weeks and haven’t been able o leave the house so not only am I stir crazy I’m feeling unloved and unwanted. Slight exaggeration there! So this really cheered me up. A song I didn’t know so I’ve just Googled it to find the rest of the lyrics. I’m glad to see that Becky approved but I was sure she would, anyway.
