Subject: RE: Punch swazzle materials


In ten years of performing Punch & Judy, I've never swallowed a swazzle. My
secret?  Well, it's a *guilty* secret, so maybe I shouldn't reveal it...
but I will. I keep my swazzle tied to a hat, which I always wear when I
perform.  There, now you know what a wimp I am!  My British friends were
always telling me "Cut the cord!", but I'd rather be a gutless wonder than
wonder what's wrong with my gut (if I swallowed a swazzle.)  Hey, that
sounds like a great beginning for a limerick: There was a young woman who
swallowed a swazzle....

Whoops! Attempt at humor on PUPTCRIT! I'll slap myself on the wrist.  (ouch!)
