"Egress" is another name for "exit," as P T Barnum well knew when he put "This way to the egress" signs in his museum so people would unwittingly leave the building and have to pay again to get back in.

Oh, that is too

You're psychic!

Maybe he had a short circuit. 
The Bar
Trin Tragula Posted Jun 17, 2005
Barnum had an egress? 
You're not allowed to keep them in captivity these days, endangered species and all that.
The Bar
paulh, vaccinated against the Omigod Variant Posted Jun 17, 2005
Barnum made an exit just so it could get out.

Vestboy Posted Jun 19, 2005
You mean Barnum left?
They are very rare. I prefer mine medium to well done.
The Bar
paulh, vaccinated against the Omigod Variant Posted Jun 20, 2005
I prefer well-done, though medium is okay.

Well as the proverb says, "If you want something done well... leave it in the microwave, on full power, overnight."

EEEwwwwwwww!
It's hard to believe that those charred ashes used to be jello and Spam.

Egresses like mustard ...
Oh, I see. Well, could I borrow some mustard anyway. If we lay out a little trail of mustard maybe she'll come over and preen by the bar.
The Bar
Vestboy Posted Jun 23, 2005
Lady Peeee-eeeeee! Could we have one of those mustard squirters and a mop and bucket to put near the bar?

Which should I bring then, sirs?
*Thinks*
*Brings a plate of fish in mustard sauce from the kitchen and puts it by the counter*
The Bar
Trin Tragula Posted Jun 24, 2005
Oo, that'll do it. Should we hide, do you think? We don't want to intimidate the egress.

*Offers fish to ducks behind the piano but they turn up their bills.*
I'll leave it on the bar then.
*Hides next to Trin and the ducks and beckons for Lady P to join them in their "hide".*

Trin Tragula Posted Jun 25, 2005
*Blends in with the piano*
Do we need to camouflage those ducks?
