Keen ornithologist Stephen Gasket was last night thrown out of the Frank Sinatra Appreciation Society after ‘Songs for Swingin’ Plovers’ was declared one pun too many.
A clearly upset Gasket told waiting reporters: “Egrets? I’ve had a few.”
The Society’s chairman Mr Vito Corleone said in a statement: “We were all fed up with Mr Gasket’s endless bird-based puns at the expense of our hero.
“The Rook of Love, Night and Jay, Owl the Way, Mack the Snipe, New Stork New Stork, Anything Goose, Where or Wren – it was almost as if he was taking the piss out of us.”
Mr Gasket was told the news as he awoke this morning, said Mr Corleone: “He got it straight from the horse’s mouth, with a little warning which read ‘who says They Can’t Take THAT Away From Me’?”
