Man Who Broke the Bank

[Lajeanna I. Bernier]

     That little passage always reminds me of Peter O'Toole, going to meet
     his destiny in David Lean's "Lawrence of Arabia" - riding along on a 
     camel and singing that ditty at the top of his lungs.
     
     Un petit homage, peut-etre?
     
     Jean.

Ted responds:
"Are you sure the POV is that of a Parisian? I always had the idea that
it was a Brit remittance man (now singing in Lunnontown music halls)."

Well, I always assumed that that was why he was walking along the Bois de
Boulougne.  Of course, the B de B has always been a notorious place to pick
up prostitutes.  Has Hugh Grant been to Monte Carlo recently?

The song was composed by one Fred Gilbert, obviously not a French name!
