    Ever wonder where the phrase Honky Tonk comes from?
    Dick Emery's Clarence,
    HT Women-Stones
    Honky comes from African-Americans describing European immigrants, especially Hungarians.
    Tonk was the name of a piano manufacturer, often bought by brothels.
    It means a white brothel.

    One for the road?
    When prisoners were transferred to be hanged from Newgate Prison, now the Old Bailey to Tyburn, Marble Arch the condemned stopped off at a pub in Holborn to have One For The Road.

    The Newgate Prison warden who escorted the prisoners to Tyburn was not allowed to drink.

    He was on the wagon.

    Phil Mickleson has again signed on to the LIV Golf and will play in next weeks opening event in London.
    Having had his 30 million dollar gambling debt paid off previously by the Saudi's, apparently he has resigned back up for a measly 280 AUD million to play the series.

    Meanwhile, Tiger knocked back 800 million US dollars to stay loyal to the PGA.
