I guess we were all surprised on Saturday night when a bearded transvestite won the Eurovision Song Contest, although looking at the history of this event, perhaps we shouldn't have been surprised at all. A quote from Doctor Johnston comes to mind, about women preachers ::
"Sir, a woman's preaching is like a dog's walking on his hind legs. It is not done well; but you are surprised to find it done at all."
Also am I the only one to notice that it was 1939 the last time a person materialised with funny facial hair in Austria ?
