| Wasps The world expert on European wasps and the sounds that they make is
taking a stroll down his local high street. As he passes by the record shop, a sign catches his eye.
"Just Released: New LP - Wasps of the World & the sounds that they
make - available now!"
Unable to resist the temptation, the man goes into the shop.
"I am the world expert on European wasps and the sounds that they
make. I'd very much like to listen to the new LP you have advertised
in the window."
"Certainly, Sir," says the young man behind the counter. "If you'd
like to step into the booth and put on the headphones, I'll put the
LP on for you."
The world expert on European wasps goes into the booth and puts on
the earphones. Ten minutes later, he comes out of the booth and announces, "I am the world expert on European wasps and the sounds that they make and yet I recognised none of those."
"I'm sorry sir," says the young assistant. "If you'd care to step
into the booth, I can let you have another few minutes."
The world expert on European wasps and the sounds that they make
steps back into the booth and replaces the headphones. Five minutes later, he comes out of the booth shaking his head.
"I don't understand it," he says, "I am the world expert on European
wasps and the sounds that they make, and yet I still can't recognise
any of those!"
"I'm terribly sorry, sir" says the young man, "perhaps if you'd like
to step into the booth again, you could have 5 more minutes."
Sighing, the world expert on European wasps and the sounds that they
make steps back into the booth. Five minutes later, he comes out again, clearly agitated.
"I am the world expert on European wasps and the sounds that they
make and yet I have recognised none of the wasps on this LP."
"I really am terribly sorry," says the young assistant. "I've just
realised I was playing you the bee side."
