query: a cock and cock story

[Wilson Gray]

I go to bed *very* late!

I was surprised discover that "pull the pud" was a mere variant of
"pull(ing) the pud(ding)" and there's "flog(ging) the dog(ging)."
Those that you've listed are all *new* to me!

Q. What did the butcher do when his shop caught fire?
A. He grabbed his meat and beat it!

The Family Guy, Peter Griffin, is accustomed to "strking out a few
knuckle children."
