They're coming down the stairs...

You know those word games that sometimes start up, and before you know where you are your brain has been wholly sucked into them, and you can't stop ? A good example is the telling of fish related jokes - a couple of weeks ago at a fish restaurant we got into a rut where no one could break away from them. Everytime we declared an intention to stop it, there'd be a small, guilty sounding voice cracking another one.

We found another one last night.

What do different kinds of animals wear ?

The original suggestion was "llamas in pyjamas". Hotly followed by "goats in coats", "cats in hats" and "armadillos in espadrillos".

Then we got on to the more dubious "okapi in khaki". And my "kangaroos in dungarees" got disallowed, which I thought was most unfair.

And I got into trouble for muttering "rabbits in habits" and "alligators in gators" while we were halfway through rapper figures. And now I'm getting emails saying things like:

Ocelots in party frocks ?????

AARGGHHHHH !!!! HELP me, someone, I can't STOP...

Don't say I didn't warn you.

Reminds me of the inane children's show 'Bananas in Pajamas.'

Was it just a very slow news day in the UK? :)

How about--
cats in spats
Flies in ties
Nut Hatches with Pocketwatches...

Which was nicked from a children's rhyme. In fact, if you look at the title of venta's entry...
