Poetic licence, my arse!

[cheekbones3]

Some lyrics are just not good enough, and this particular gem reduced my to giggles while at work this morning:

From Billy Joel - Piano Man:

It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sitting next to me
Making love to his tonic and gin.

I'm sorry Billy, I just don't want that sort of imagery! I reckon that sort of thing has a very poor pleasure to potential damage ratio too.

Oops - your <td> </td> pair need a <tr> </tr> and a <table> </table> round them to stop breaking my page....

(that, or convert them to <blockquote> </blockquote>, perhaps?)

Strange, I could see nothing wrong with it! Sorted anyway.
