Rails, Perches, Poles...

by Queen Ian, Elijah's Grey Panthers

These drapes would look fabulous with a decent curtain rail...

Merry: Don't you mean curtain pole?
Pippin: Perch, I thought...

Why would I want a perch? I haven't even got a parrot!

I'd like a parrot...

Well you can't have one!

Merry: One what?

One parrot!

What parrot?

THERE ISN'T ANY PARROT! WE ARE TALKING ABOUT CURTAIN RAILS, NOT PARROTS!

Merry: I told you, it's curtain POLE
Pippin: Perch...

Isn't perch a type of fish?

Well, yes. But also a parrot perch.

And a curtain perch...

Merry: I'm sure you're making that up.
Pippin: ... And one can perch ON things!

True, true...

So. That's curtains, fish, parrot, perching...

And it's a type of vest worn by a south african tribe. Apparently it's made of some holy animal skin, making it an excellent fertility symbol-

What, perch?

I don't believe you.

That's as stupid as the curtain perch thing!

Hey!!

I'll buy one tomorrow! Then I'll wear it and you'll see!

My God, I'm surrounded by idiots...!
