What's up with Chopin and tying shoes ?
on: December 06, 2005, 05:55:38 PM
I will admit, I don't get it  :-[

But, it has been mentioned several times :

https://www.pianostreet.com/smf/index.php/topic,6087.msg60530.html#msg60530

And this one, though in context of the thread (and funny, mind you  ;)) I think is somehow referring to this idea, since all"chopin" posted it.

And, I know there are others but I can't find them right now.  But anyway, can somebody please explain this to me ?


Thanks,

m1469  :)




ps-  A burning question : Do fire extinguishers put out grease fires ?

pss-  ha ha... I didn't get the pun until just now...
